Blade-Free LASIK Surgery with the Most Advanced Technology

Trinity Clinic Eye Center offers LASIK surgery using state-of-the-art lasers and diagnostic equipment for superior vision correction. Advantages of this new Ziemer FEMTO LDV laser includes operation at pulse rates that are orders of magnitude higher, pulse energies that are much lower, and delivery optics that are very tightly focused for maximum tissue disruption in the focal point and no thermal or radiation effects to the surrounding tissue.

• Shorter and safer procedure
• Rapid healing and visual recovery
• Excellent visual outcomes with an increased chance of achieving 20/20 vision or better
• Increased patient comfort

LASIK surgery using the latest in laser technology, the Ziemer FEMTO LDV, offers patients the blade-free experience that provides an unprecedented level of safety, precision and comfort while also striving for the highest quality of vision possible. The surgeon can define the diameter and depth of the corneal flap more accurately, ensuring more precise control for a safer procedure.
