Our Experience.
The Institute is headed by respected surgeon Dr
Ronald Binetter. Having performed over 5000 successful Lasik
procedures, Dr Binetter is one of the most experienced Lasik surgeons
in Australia. He was one of the first Ophthalmologists to be certified
to perform Lasik in Australia and now instructs other surgeons in
Lasik and other microsurgical eye procedures.
In addition to Olympians and world champions the Australian Institute
of Eye Surgery is also the trusted choice of airline pilots, driving
instructors, police officers, professors , librarians, architects,
electricians and tradespeople ,men and women of all skills.
Patients from all over Australia as well as England, France, Germany,
South Africa, The United States Of America and many countries throughout
Asia have come to Dr Binetter to have Lasik or other vision correction
procedures performed.
Because the Australian Institute of Eye Surgery is so confident
of our doctors vast clinical experience and training we stand behind
our vision correction results with The
Lifetime Commitment for which most patients are eligible. We
are the only vision correction centre in Australia to provide this.
Our Laser
At the Australian Institute of Eye Surgery we chose the Bausch
and Lomb 217C-Lasik Excimer Laser. It is the first refractive workstation
in the world designed specifically for Lasik and is acknowledged
as one of the most advanced lasers available.
This advanced spot scanning laser allows the surgeon increased flexibility
to treat shortsightedness, longsightedness, astigmatism, combinations
of these and presbyopia .The PlanoScan 2000 software minimizes tissue
removal, thus optimizing the treatment for each patient and increasing
long term safety.
The flying spot for each pulse removes 39 millionths of an inch
in 12 billionths of a second producing an extremely smooth corneal
surface. This aids accuracy of the treatment and the rapid return
of vision. The result is a very accurate and safe change to your
sight.
The unique infrared based active eye tracker has created a procedure
which is safer for the patient and provides the surgeon with more
precise control of the treatment.
The eye tracker detects changes in the position of the eye and is
capable of following and compensating for this movement in an appropriate
time scale so that the laser positions the next pulse at the desired
location. Approved by the influential United States Food and Drug
Administration this laser has produced the most accurate results
ever presented to the U.S. FDA and remains the benchmark against
which other lasers are compared.
