DUBLIN, CA (USA) / JENA, Germany | January 11, 2024 | Carl Zeiss Meditec AG “The increasing global adoption of SMILE from ZEISS represents the positive impact the small incision lenticule extraction procedure continues to have on the quality of life for patients,” said Andrew Chang, Head of Global Sales for ZEISS Medical Technology. “With the availability of the ZEISS SMILE pro software module in the U.S. market, surgeons can now offer the latest refractive technology to help expand their business and provide excellent outcomes for patients.” “ZEISS continues to set itself apart in the U.S. market with the availability of the VISUMAX 800 with SMILE pro software from ZEISS, providing the latest digital technology from the company’s legacy of innovation to meet the evolving needs of refractive surgeons,” said Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., President of Ophthalmology Strategic Business Unit and Head of the Digital Business Unit for ZEISS Medical Technology. “As part of the ZEISS Medical Ecosystem, this next generation femtosecond laser system creates data-driven insights to help surgeons manage better treatment paths for patients while supporting each surgeon’s unique practice requirements for greater workflow efficiency and performance.” The VISUMAX® 800 with SMILE® pro software from ZEISS enables faster treatment, creating the lenticule in less than 10 seconds thanks to a faster laser pulse repetition rate of 2 MHz.* Additionally, the shorter procedure time can reduce stress for surgeons and their patients. The ZEISS femtosecond laser also provides greater flexibility for the surgeon and patient, with a smaller footprint and compatibility with a variety of patient beds, adapting to the clinical environment to provide cutting-edge technology without compromise. With the availability of the VISUMAX® 800 with SMILE® pro software from ZEISS in the U.S., surgeons can utilize a number of workflow enhancements including: the CentraLign® centration aid, a computer-controlled function for easy centration; the OcuLign® cyclotorsion adjustment to help counter cyclotorsion that may occur; and VISULYZE user nomograms to help surgeons collect and analyze patient data, while also providing detailed nomograms and enabling more control during every surgery. With these workflow enhancements along with greater flexibility and faster treatment, the VISUMAX® 800 with SMILE® pro software from ZEISS offers substantial market opportunities for U.S. surgeons. "The VISUMAX 800 is a practice builder and allows surgeons to differentiate their practice from local competitors,” said Luke Rebenitsch, MD, at ClearSight LASIK and 43Vision, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA.
