LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis) has become one of the most successful procedures to correct refractive errors, replacing glasses and contact lenses. There are no precedents for the number of procedures that are being performed Worldwide. Over one million eyes are being treated this year alone. The rapid return of functional vision, lack of discomfort, and the overall stability and accuracy of the treatment have led to this astounding success. The risk/benefit ratio for most patients exceeds that of contact lenses. Although the FDA has determined the excimer laser vision correction procedure as "safe and effective", there are still many critical factors that must be considered in order for each patient to achieve the best possible result.

To Dr. Foulkes from Robert F. Jasineick:
I am sure that you have had many letters written to you in grateful thanks in the fact that you have made many patients absolutely full of joy in the outcome of the surgery you have performed on them. It is absolutely very obvious that you are more than dedicated to your profession!!! I did not just pick up the paper or any other form of advertising and decide to have you perform my surgery. I did my homework and learned that you were the best! I must admit that I was hesitant to have anyone do laser surgery on my precious eyes, but I am now so glad that I had it done. Seeing is the self-satisfaction that I craved. You have a very professional and dedicated staff. Thanks for everything.

At Foulkes Vision Center, our passion takes LASIK and other refractive procedures to a higher level. We believe that providing our patients with the most extensive pre-operative evaluation is critical in determining the success of the procedure.

Ziemer's FEMTO LDV Surgical laser is at the forefront of a technical revolution in corneal surgery.

Ziemer Logo Ziemer's FEMTO LDV, the first compact, mobile femtosecond surgical laser, has been conceived to provide a versatile, powerful platform for a wide spectrum of applications in corneal surgery. The basic system addresses the demand of refractive surgeons for an "all-Laser LASIK" capability that is consistent with an efficient LASIK work-flow. The solution by Ziemer is based on an all-new femtolaser design concept that seamlessly integrates into LASIK procedures and corneal surgery.

Due to its unique hand-held laser delivery system, which is attached to an easily maneuverable articulated arm, patients can be treated on the patient bed of the excimer laser and do not have to be relocated between flap creation and ablation procedures. The surgeon can perform and control the entire procedure from a single working position, without having to move about or changing microscopes. This revolutionary design concept entails several major advantages in clinical practice:

Ziemer As the FEMTO LDV's laser energy is deployed from a hand-piece, which is placed on the patient's eye and manually controlled by the surgeon, a procedure results that resembles the operation of a traditional microkeratome. The sterile single-use parts of the hand-piece, which are provided in convenient, assorted ProcedurePacks, are assembled before the procedure is started and before the patient's eye is touched. Similarly, the components are disassembled after the complete (usually bilateral) procedure is completed.

For fixation, the hand-piece incorporates a vacuum suction ring, which is available for a range of flap diameters from 8.5 to 10 mm. The ring is mounted over the applanation window on the underside of the handpiece. Positioning, applanation, and suction are controlled visually through the handpiece observation window and the excimer laser's microscope.
