MEL 80High performance meets versatility

2 3

Just what your clinic is looking for

Invest in the latest refractive excimer technology

The MEL 80™ is a top quality Carl Zeiss Meditec product, designed to make the

correction of vision defects even safer, more patient-friendly and individual. All

the parameters of this ultramodern work platform are oriented towards increasing

efficiency, achieving optimum treatment results and the rapid recovery of vision.

Key factors here are the very high ablation rate, the high-performance

eyetracker system, individual treatment planning with the optional CRS-Master®,

and the Eye Registration torsion compensation system.

MEL 80 – the excimer laser with the widest field of application

With immediate effect you now have the option of performing binocular treatment

planning with Laser Blended Vision for presbyopic patients. The corresponding

ablation profile aims to increase the depth of focus so that there is an overlapping

area after binocular treatment.

The best outlook for you and your patients

Added to this are tangible benefits for your daily work such as the overall

ergonomic design concept and the economical operation of the system. Reap the

advantages of an investment which is forward-looking, practical and profitable!

The faster the treatment,

the lower the stress

The MEL 80™ helps you significantly re-

duce the duration of treatment for your

patients. This has the following benefits:

•Thestromalbedisonlyopenfora

short period; this reduces dehydration

and shortens the regeneration process

•Thethermally-optimizeddistribution

of the laser firing pattern protects the

stroma – despite the high ablation

speed

•Patientstressisrelieved;theyonly

need to concentrate for a few seconds

on the fixation light

•Youcanincreaseyourefficiencylevels

and the number of patients you see

Everything’s under control!

An active eyetracker with excellent

feedback times and an ultrarapid IR

camera provides exact positioning

during the laser treatment. Thanks to

automatic pupil recognition you can

adjust the desired centering point

within seconds. This also includes the

limbus. If the center of the pupil shifts

with relation to the limbus during

ablation – through asymmetrical

contraction, for instance – the

eyetracker compensates for this.

By the way – no pupil-dilating medica-

tion and related waiting times are

necessary prior to this treatment.

Taylor-madeHighly user-friendly

Plume removal system

It couldn’t be simpler to operate

At Carl Zeiss, we strive to make ad-

vanced technology applications as

simple and ergonomic as possible for

our customers. When using the MEL 80

take advantage of an extensive list of

standardizedtreatmentproceduresfor

optimum results.

The software has been specially

developed for this workstation and its

graphic interface is clearly structured

and takes you step by step through

treatment. Click the mouse to enter

data or to import CRS-Master® files.

A large number of other helpful features

facilitate and support your work with

the MEL 80: the ergonomically designed

workstation, the individually positionable

monitor and the integrated video camera.

There are also practical options such as

a pivoting slit lamp.

The MEL 80 is also designed to accom-

modate future system developments

through various interfaces.

CRS-Master

For a truly individual treatment

A top-notch treatment planning tool,

the CRS-Master integrates wavefront

examination and corneal topography

data for the MEL 80, thereby allowing

you to create truly individual treatment

programs. The inclusion of additional

patient-relevant data offers complete

individualizedopticalprofilesofyour

patients for tailored laser applications

VisuMax

Improved precision for incisions

The new VisuMax femtosecond system

allows you to operate with great accuracy

and, what’s more, less invasively. Thanks

to the system’s highly advanced laser

technology and innovative optical design,

corneal incisions with improved precision

are easily performed.

As such, the VisuMax offers a very

gentle treatment option for corneal

surgical procedures – for you and your

patients.

Perfectworkflow with a new swing

Efficient and individual at the same time! With the CRS-Master®, the MEL 80™ excimer laser and the VisuMax® femtosecond laser, Carl Zeiss has assembled three top-of-the-line products as a seamlessly coordinated systems solution for refractive laser surgery, including preoperative examinations,individualizedtreatmentplanningandpreciseflaps,followed by highly accurate refractive corrections and follow-up examinations–alldesignedtoensureconvenientworkflow,efficientpatient management and best treatment results.

Equipped to outperform

Through the combined use of the

pivoting patient supporting system

between the VisuMax femtosecond

system and the MEL 80 excimer laser,

patient transfers between surgical steps

are no longer necessary. The patient

experiences the surgery as an integrated

process. Unnecessary waiting periods

areminimizedandtreatmentefficiency

increased.

Systems that communicate

with each other

For efficient practice management

you benefit from optimally coordinated

product portfolio, diagnostics and

planning station, CRS-Master, MEL 80

excimer laser and VisuMax femto second

laser. We thus offer you an integrated

solution from a single source; a solution

that offers you the potential to sub-

sequently expand your networking

capabilities with continuously enhanced

dataflowefficiencyandindividualized

patient treatments.

Precisionforpresbyopicpatients Laser Blended Vision

The next stage of

Eye Care Excellence

A growing group of patients is reaching

presbyopic age. The Laser Blended Vision

option of the CRS-Master® optimally pre-

pares you for this trend. The software

assists you in planning binocular treat-

ments for the MEL 80™ andoptimizing

them for presbyopic patients. In this

way,individualizedtreatmentplanning

has reached the next stage of Eye Care

Excellence.

Improved quality of vision*

The principle: the great depth of focus

of the ablation profile in both eyes and

the true binocular approach produce an

overlap in the field of focus for medium

distances. Laser Blended Vision improves

the reading ability in the non-dominant

eye.

Scientific studies have shown that this

procedure also achieves a high degree

of tolerance compared with classical

monovision.

It was also shown that average binocular

distance visual acuity is better than the

visual acuity in the ‘distance eye’. This

suggests a constructive matching of

both images in the brain.

MEL 80 the excimer laser with the broadest performance scope

What your colleagues say

" Laser Blended Vision is very easy to use, all the surgeons in the

center use it without any difficulty. The enthusiasm of the oper-

ated patients is revealing of its efficiency..."

Dr. Yves Guldenfels, Expert Vision Center, Strasbourg

" Laser Blended Vision (LBV) is a logical approach to treating

presbyopicindividuals.Patientshaveremarkedonthecomfort-

able vision. Importantly, subjective assessment of visual quality

demonstrates minimal perceived problems for all ranges of vision.

The Laser Blended Vision module has been an important addition

to my practice and I now find myself recommending laser

corrections for patients who would previously have been guided

to have refractive lens exchange."

Dr. Patrick Versace, The Eye Institute, Sydney

" Laser Blended Vision, so that age is not anymore an obstacle."
