CLEAR Refractive Surgery with Smart Technology: Advancing Clinical Outcomes

黃偉成 Wei-Cheng HuangTaiwan Speaker CLEAR Refractive Surgery with Smart Technology: Advancing Clinical OutcomesThis talk is divided into three parts. First, I will give a brief overview of the Ziemer Z8, a versatile femtosecond laser platform capable of performing femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), corneal procedures such as intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) and lamellar keratoplasty, as well as myopic correction with Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction (KLEx). The Z8 is a compact, mobile system that can be moved between different operating rooms. However, in order to achieve this compact and portable design, it uses a rotating, vibrating handpiece, which is often the main barrier to acceptance for many surgeons. In the second part, I will share our current clinical experience and outcome data with KLEx using this platform, to provide colleagues who are interested in this system with a more in-depth understanding. Finally, I will introduce a major upcoming upgrade of the system, which will enable direct integration with a corneal topographer. With iris registration, this will allow automatic centration and automatic rotation for astigmatism correction.
