'TENEO has been well received and is widely adopted in more than 50 countries around the world, and now
TENEO offers several unique features not offered by previous excimer laser platforms.
Accuracy
The advanced eye-tracker operates at 1,740Hz, which is more than three times the speed of the laser's repetition. This feature helps to ensure the laser ablation pattern is not negatively impacted by a patient's eye movement and helps achieve outstanding post-operative outcomes.
The platform's high-speed laser operates at 500Hz, the fastest ablation time of all excimer lasers available in
Efficiency
The platform's customizable graphical user interface touchscreen simplifies set up and allows surgeons to access to the patient data they choose without flipping through screens.
The cutting edge TENEO software treats the manifest refraction and does not require a nomogram therefore streamlining surgical planning by eliminating several steps prior to treatment. The logical, intuitive process requires three steps: select patient; choose and confirm treatment; treat.
In addition to these time saving advantages, the compact design of the TENEO (0.6m2 (6.8 sq. ft)) makes it the smallest excimer laser unit available in
Usability
TENEO has been specifically engineered for the comfort of both surgeons and patients. It features a 360o swivelling microscope that adapts to surgeon height and posture, aiding in surgeon comfort.
The treatment bed comfortably accommodates patients of all sizes, swings out for easier access, and can be customized for optimal head positioning. The bed can be swivelled to be positioned for a second treatment device(+) so that patients do not have to get up and move, enhancing comfort and simplifying the surgical process.
'FDA approval of TENEO represents a major milestone for the advancement of laser vision correction technology in
About LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery is a common vision correction procedure for people with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) or astigmatism.1 An alternative to wearing glasses or contact lenses, the procedure involves using a special type of laser to change the shape of the cornea.1 Around 10 million Americans have had LASIK surgery since its approval in 1999 according to Marketscope.2 Approximately 550,000 LASIK surgeries are performed each year.2
About Myopia and Myopic Astigmatism
Myopia or nearsightedness is a common type of refractive error where close objects appear clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. According to the
Astigmatism happens when the cornea or lens has a different shape than normal, making vision blurry.4 Astigmatism is common, with about one in three people having some degree of the condition, which happens along with myopia and hyperopia.5
