About
Our Laser
The
Wright Eye Center is pleased to be the only laser center in Colorado Springs
to offer a variety of laser treatment options to our, patients, ensuring
the best visual result possible. Currently, we can offer patients the
Autonomous laser with LADARVision
. The laser is FDA approved for use in the United
States.

The Autonomous laser, or LADARVision is helping us achieve the best results
in laser vision correction we have experienced so far. The LADARVision
laser radar tracker can track eye movements 4,000 times per second, and
has the only FDA-Approved claim for improved accuracy in corneal shaping.
LADARVision uses a small-spot beam of less than 1 mm, which is moved rapidly
around the cornea in a computer-controlled pattern of tiny, non-sequential,
overlapping spots. This helps create a smooth postoperative corneal surface.
With this technology we now have the ability to expand the treatment zone,
decreasing problems with night vision for our patients.
The LADARVision laser radar tracker can track eye movements 4,000 times per second, and has the only FDA approved claim for improved accuracy in corneal shaping. This radar tracker was developed by NASA.
We
are able to check beam quality throughout the day on the laser verifying
that the desired correction is achieved. Any deviation from the target
correction can be immediately corrected, a feature that is lacking on
some lasers.
