Excimer Laser - The Cape Eye Hospital has recently installed the latest state of the art NIDEK Excimer Laser EC-5000CX Series. This laser is designed to reshape the cornea by PRK/LASIK to reduce or eliminate myopia/hyperopia with or without astigmatism, and PTK. The NIDEK FinalFitTM software receives the measured data from the OPD-Scan II, performs a simulation of the postoperative corneal shape, and generates excimer laser shot data using the data imported from the OPD-Scan and target correction data that are entered. This customized wavefront facility improves patient outcome results and minimizes night vision halo’s and glare.
