Not every laser system is indicated, or approved by the FDA, to treat every type of vision problem. Ask your doctor which technologies are used. Most importantly, you should confirm with your doctor that the laser system used in your procedure can correct your specific eye problems. You should also compare laser systems to learn other important aspects of their capabilities.

Nidek EC 5000
 Nidek's Excimer Laser EC-5000 is designed to reshape the cornea for PRK, PRK of moderate myopia with astigmatism (consecutive correction of myopia and astigmatism), PTK and LASIK.
The Nidek EC-5000 Excimer Laser System has been approved for use in the United States to perform photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for the reduction or elimination of myopia in the low, moderate or high ranges (-0.75 to -13.00 D), spherical equivalent at the spectacle plane, uncomplicated by refractive astigmatism (i.e. equal or less than 0.75 D in any meridian), and of moderate myopia with astigmatism from -1.00 to -8.00 D spherical equivalent with astigmatism from -0.50 to -4.00 D absolute cylinder by manifest refraction in subjects who are 21 years or older, and to perform laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopia ranging from -1.00 D to -14.00 D MRSE with or without less than or equal to -4.00 D astigmatism; in patients who are over 21 years of age; and in patients with documentation of stable manifest refraction as defined in the indications statement over the past year.
Key Features
 - Dynamic Rotating and Overlapping Delivery System
Designed to perform refractive and therapeutic treatments over a large ablation area.
- Easy and Effective Alignment System 3D motorized joystick along with improved illumination and aiming beams provide precise control of laser beam delivery arm.
- Computerized Performance
Laser delivery parameters are automatically calculated by entering the basic data.
During the ablation
procedure, the computer monitors the system parameters continuously.
