The Bausch & Lomb Technolas 217z Zyoptix System

Bausch & Lomb Technolas 217z Zyoptix System utilizes the most advanced technology available. Its innovative "flying spot" technology produces an extremely smooth corneal surface. Flying spot lasers produce a narrow beam (about 2mm wide) to contact the eye at lightning speed in a pattern that allows the eye to clear in one place before contacting that area again. Unlike the broad beam pulse, the technology produces a smoother corneal shape and helps increase the accuracy and efficiency of the surgery.

Unlike current standard lasers, the Technolas 217z Zyoptix System uses a state-of-the art feedback mechanism that makes sure every pulse is placed exactly as programmed. The Technolas 217z is the only laser designed ergonomically for LASIK. This yields greater comfort for the patient.

The B&L is an excellent laser for high nearsighted prescriptions, mild farsighted prescriptions, and can treat most types of astigmatism.
