Clinical outcomes using the NAVEX platform.
The NIDEK Advanced Vision Excimer Laser (NAVEX) platform has been used to treat primary eyes and in a wide variety of therapeutic applications. Use of an extremely robust scanning slit skiascopy aberrometer has enabled the treatment of eyes in the latter category. Primary outcomes using NAVEX have shown a reduced induction of higher order aberrations, a maintenance or gain of contrast sensitivity in most patients, and excellent refractive outcomes. By using an ablation profile that minimizes the amount of induced spherical aberrations, large effective optical zones are seen postoperatively.
