TECHNOLOGY

Laser System

At California Center for Refractive Surgery (CCRS), we strive to bring our patients the latest technology in the industry for the most precise and safe eye surgery. We were the first center in the region to acquire the 400 Hz Wavelight Allegretto Eye-Q Laser system. Now considered to be the industry's most advanced vision correction laser, this laser utilizes the Wavefront-optimized Perfect Pulse Technology which ensures that every laser pulse is completely controlled for an excellent result. Some of its advanced features include:

• Utilizing 0.95 mm small spot size Perfect Pulse Technology for smooth treatment.
• Wavefront-optimized technology allowing preservation of the natural corneal shape of the patient. This minimizes or eliminates glare and halo symptoms commonly seen with other lasers.
• Wavelight Allegretto is the fastest laser. This means that the exposure time of the eye to the environment is minimized.
• The active eye tracker enables accurate placement of the laser beam despite involuntary eye movements.
• The advanced technology of Wavelight Allegretto system has been recognized by the FDA and has been approved for the widest range of vision correction.

Microkeratome

Microkeratome is a device used to create a corneal flap when performing LASIK surgery. There are several different models of microkeratome currently being utilized. One that is used at CCRS is called a Moria One Use-Plus System. It is the latest technology in microkeratome which allows Dr. Paul C. Lee to create safe, consistent, and customized corneal flaps during LASIK surgery.

It is the only microkeratome shown to outperform laser (Intralase) in creating corneal flap in terms of safety and speed of recovery. Different sizes and thicknesses of the corneal flap can be created by Dr. Paul C. Lee utilizing this instrument to customize each treatment. Almost the entire unit is used only once thus eliminating risk of infection and variability in the quality of the flap due to wear and tear on the instrument from multiple uses.

Diagnostic Devices to evaluate Patients for their LASIK candidacy

At CCRS, we do not leave anything to chance which may affect the outcome of our surgery. For this reason evaluation is very thorough and complete utilizing the latest technology.

• Corneal mapping is done using an advanced technology topography device called Orbscan.
• Corneal thickness is checked several times using two different methods, ultrasonic and optical, for verification.
• Complete medical examination is done personally by Dr. Paul C. Lee to ensure that patients are good candidates.

TESTIMONIALS

One word describes my eye-correction-experience with Dr. Lee : FREEDOM! Freedom from fear, freedom to live my active life without cumbersome restraint. I am so pleased to say I have 20/20 vision and am now totally free to celebrate each day with the amazing blessing of clear vision!

After meeting Dr. Lee, I had the courage to go forward because he inspired confidence. He was honest, he had great credentials, and because he is a skilled surgeon, if something did go wrong, he'd be able to fix it. If only every doctor and staff were as professional, dedicated and caring as those at Dr. Lee's office!

It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. I've been wearing glasses/contacts for the past 13 years. I put my trust and confidence in Dr. Paul Lee at California Center for Refractive Surgery. I was unsure and nervous about the surgery so, but Dr. Lee was the most assuring. I highly recommend Dr. Lee, you won't be let down!
