LADAR6000 Excimer Laser System for CustomCornea

The LADAR6000 Excimer Laser was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2006 for LASIK and PRK refractive surgery. The laser uses an eye tracking system that tracks eye movements.

Some possible adverse effects associated with treatment using the LADAR6000 Excimer Laser are:

• worsening of double vision, sensitivity to bright lights, increased difficulty with night vision or fluctuations in vision
• corneal haze
• retinal detachment

In 2007, the LADAR6000 Excimer Laser was recalled because it was found to be related to corneal abnormalities.
