OUR TECHNOLOGIES
At Dakota, we are committed to providing you with the ultimate in refractive technology to assure the most precise, safe and comfortable treatment possible.
The laser which reshapes the optics of the eye is called an excimer laser. We use the Visx Star/S4 IR laser which is the apex of refractive laser development. The Visx laser allows a variety of
conventional, custom and therapeutic treatments with amazing precision.
The CustomVue® procedure tailors a distinct correction for each individual –
in fact each treatment is “designed” by the unique characteristics of the individuals’ eyes.
Visx WaveScan® technology captures unique imperfections in each
individual’s vision that could not have been measured before. This new level of measurement provides 25-times more precision than measurements using standard methods for glasses and contact lenses. WaveScan® technology produces a detailed map of the eye – much like a fingerprint, no two are alike
and translates this information into a set of CustomVue® treatment instructions for the laser.
 |
WaveScan® transfers these digital treatment instructions to the laser, providing a new level of precision and accuracy.
This precise level of measurement and treatment can enable individuals to achieve the full potential of their vision.

The AMO IntralaseTM surgical microkeratome laser is at the forefront
of a technical revolution in corneal surgery.
|
The Intralase 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.
Femtolaser surgery with convincing clinical advantages:
• Smooth surface of stromal bed.
• Smooth edges for optimal flap closure.
• Thin flaps of even thickness.
• Rapid healing and visual recovery.
• Excellent visual outcomes.
