Excimer Laser MEL 80 - Good

Unlock Precision and Efficiency with ZEISS MEL 80: The Ultimate Excimer Laser Solution

Excimer excellence starts with ZEISS. Since 1846, the name ZEISS has stood for quality and precision in optics. In 1986, ZEISS unveiled the first excimer laser for refractive correction of the eye. Over the last 25 years, the company has been at the forefront of advances in laser vision correction.

Invest in the refractive excimer technology with the ZEISS MEL 80. This top-quality ZEISS product is designed to make the correction of vision defects more patient-friendly and individual while providing optimized ablation profiles for quality outcomes. All parameters of this modern work platform are oriented towards increasing efficiency, achieving optimum treatment results, and rapid recovery of vision. Key features include a high ablation rate and a high-performance eye tracker system.

The MEL 80 offers the best outlook for you and your patients. Tangible benefits for your daily work include the overall ergonomic design concept and the economical operation of the system. Reap the advantages of an investment that is forward-looking, practical, and profitable.

With ZEISS, simplicity meets advanced technology. With the MEL 80, take advantage of standardized treatment procedures for optimum results. The MEL 80 software has been specially developed for this robust and flexible workstation. The graphic user interface is clearly structured and takes you step-by-step through the treatment. A large number of other helpful features facilitate and support your work with the MEL 80, including the ergonomically designed workstation, the individually positionable monitor, and the integrated video camera.

Everything's under control with the MEL 80. An active 1 kHz eye tracker with excellent feedback times and an ultra-rapid IR camera provide exact positioning during the laser treatment. Thanks to automatic pupil recognition, you can adjust the desired centering point within seconds, including the limbus. If the center of the pupil shifts with relation to the limbus during ablation, the eye tracker compensates for this. In addition, no pupil-dilating medication and related waiting times are necessary prior to this treatment.

The faster the treatment, the lower the stress. The MEL 80 can significantly reduce the treatment duration for patients, offering numerous benefits. Firstly, the stromal bed is only open for a short period, minimizing dehydration and shortening the regeneration process. Secondly, the laser firing pattern is thermally optimized to achieve an ideal balance between ablation speed, tissue heating, and pulse energy. Patients only need to concentrate on the fixation light for a few seconds, reducing their stress levels. Practices also benefit from increased efficiency and patient throughput. Additionally, the Cone of Controlled Atmosphere (CCA+) plume removal system ensures consistent atmospheric conditions during treatment.

Equipped to outperform, the MEL 80 excimer laser is integrated seamlessly with the VisuMax femtosecond system. This combined use allows patients to experience surgery as an integrated process, eliminating unnecessary waiting periods and increasing treatment efficiency. These systems communicate with each other efficiently, enabling optimal practice management. The coordinated product portfolio, consisting of the MEL 80 excimer laser and VisuMax femtosecond system, offers an integrated solution from a single source. This solution not only enhances data flow efficiency but also allows for individualized patient treatments and expanded networking capabilities.

Precision in all facets, the VisuMax femtosecond system offers the creation of very accurate and smooth flaps in preparation for Femto-LASIK procedures. With its highly advanced laser technology and innovative optical design, the VisuMax ensures maximum cutting precision, efficiency, predictability, and patient comfort. Together with the MEL 80, it forms a well-matched duo for a whole range of customized laser treatments.
