Do you wear glasses? Or are you supposed to do so? Maybe you´re working with contacts. But for sure you know the unpleasant side effects of both "vision support systems".

Refractive surgery could be an answer for you. Not the manual one with the knife (don´t be shaky, doc!) but refractive laser surgery can improve your vision.

Before the physician starts with the eye-surgery, he does some diagnostics including corneal topography (measuring the shape of the cornea). He will then adjust the parameters of his medical laser to treat your cornea according to these diagnostics. He programs the unit, places you under it and ... then you should say STOP!! Because your doctor can´t guarantee you the result of the surgery. He relies on his and others’ experience and on the guidelines of the manufacturer. That´s the reason why the result of the surgery has a tolerance of at least +/- 1 diopters. Depending on where in this range of tolerance you are, it´s more or less a disaster! In manufacturing industry nobody would ever accept such tolerances.

This has changed now with the EyeShape system from BioShape! The Eyeshape system makes sure that such disasters don´t happen any more. EyeShape is a unique measuring device that improves current state of the art laser procedures. It allows the continuous measurement of the cornea during refractive surgery and thus guides the laser to an optimum result. Its principles of operation are well proven in industry and guarantee maximum spatial resolution. Sophisticated computer algorithms ensure an accurate analysis of the measured data at minimum evaluation times.
