MILAN — Abbott Medical Optics announced that its iDesign Advanced WaveScan Studio aberrometer has received the CE mark in Europe.

According to a press release from the company, issued at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting here, the aberrometer is a next-generation diagnostic tool that maps and analyzes corneal aberrations for wavefront-guided LASIK procedures.

“The approval of the iDesign Advanced WaveScan Studio in Europe further enhances the three-step iLASIK process to set a new standard for laser vision correction,” Jim Mazzo, senior vice president, AMO, said in the release. “Since the introduction of Abbott’s iLASIK technologies, organizations with the highest standards for safety and visual acuity, including the U.S. military and NASA, have embraced these for their most elite personnel, including sharpshooters, fighter pilots and astronauts, because of our exclusive, validated safety and precision performance.”

“The iDesign system measurement makes an individual ‘blueprint’ of the eyes, mapping the imperfections and creating a treatment plan,” the release said. “Once a corneal flap is created using the iFS femtosecond laser, this iDesign treatment plan is then executed using the STAR S4 IR excimer laser system for a computer-driven custom laser correction, unique to each patient.”
