Iris Registration Increases Lasik Precision

A doctor in South Florida has developed a way to make Lasik surgery not only more cost effective but precise as well using a new procedure.

Using a new machine, Dr. Jonathan Frantz uses iris registration to “map points on the iris, and focus the laser using those points.” The cost of this new technology that Dr. Frantz paid is $110, 000.

Dr. Frantz can use iris registration to scan the eye and make a map of it. It is useful because before using iris registration, Dr. Frantz would mark the eye while the person was sitting, but this position would change when they lie down.

The use of iris registration improves Lasik surgery from 97% to 99% efficiency.
