	Step 1 First the eye is numbed with topical anesthetic. You are then reclined in a comfortable chair and positioned under the VISX Star S4 excimer laser. The doctor views your eye through a microscope on the laser.
	Step 2 A flap is created using a microkeratome. The flap is about 1/5th the thickness of the cornea. This entire process takes about 10 seconds.
	Step 3 The flap is then gently reflected, exposing the corneal bed. Using information from the VISX WaveScan, the VISX Star S4 excimer laser precisely and smoothly changes the cornea’s curvature.
	Step 4 After the laser treatment, the flap is replaced and held in place by the natural healing processes of the cornea.

CustomVue Technology: The new standard in laser vision correction -Your vision is as unique as your fingerprints. Using the VISX WaveScan Diagnostic System, We can measure your vision 25 times more accurately than with traditional methods. Custom LASIK allows the surgeon to transfer this digital fingerprint of your eye directly to the VISX Star S4 laser systems. This process has the potential to give you unaided vision that is better than your vision with contacts or glasses.
3 Dimensional Eye Tracker - The VISX ActiveTrak System allows patients the peace of mind of knowing that the laser is following their eye in all 3 dimensions, compensating for even the slightest loss of fixation.
Variable Spot Scanning - Seven beam scanning array allows for even laser energy distribution and the variable size spots allow for greater shaping flexibility resulting in the smoothest ablation of any excimer laser.
