Abstract
PURPOSE
To outline the technological improvements seen in the new Alcon LADAR 6000 laser.
METHODS
New LADAR 6000 features can be categorized into three areas: automation, speed, and control.
RESULTS
Automation features include auto-registration, specialized illumination, scleral vessel registration, and automated prompting. Speed features include a faster ablation rate and less intensive maintenance. Control features include autoregistration, a better graphic user interface, and an improved workspace.
CONCLUSIONS
The technological improvements of the LADAR 6000 help eliminate the variability of measurement, alignment, and delivery needed to optimize custom laser vision correction outcomes.
