Scoft lohner, M.D. Custom LASIK treatments come to Utah Count W. Scott Lohner, M.D., an Excel Eye Center Ophthalmologist, Ophthal-mologist, became certified on the LADARViBion4000 laser Jan. 2 and now is the first LASIK surgeon in Utah County to offer FDA approved customized ablations with the LADARWave CustomCornea Wavefront System and LAD Alt Vision 4000. "The most exciting thing about this system is the accuracy accu-racy of its registration that allows for confident alignment of the customized wavefront information with the actual laser treatment. This makes sure the areas of the cornea that are treated line up precisely pre-cisely to give the desired results. With the LADARWave CustomCornea and LADARVision 4000 1 have confidence con-fidence that I can treat my patients exactly as intended. This registration also gives superior alignment of astigmatism astigma-tism treatment as well," Lohner said. FDA Approval for customized cus-tomized ablation using this system was obtained on October 18 and has only recently been made available in Utah. Other wavefront technologies tech-nologies have not received FDA approval yet. "Wavefront will revolutionize revolution-ize the way LASIK is done. This newer technology allows each patient who qualifies to have a customized treatment while additionally improving the safety and minimizing potential poten-tial side effects," Lohner said. Lohner has been practicing ophthalmology since 19 and LASIK since 1998. His enhancement rate is only 1.72 percent (national average 5-8 percent) and 100 percent of his patients see 2040 or better after surgery, meaning they can pass a driver's license test without correction. Lohner offers free LASIK screenings in his Orem office.
