Northwestern LASIK Physicians is proud to offer patients the unparalleled technology and precision of the VISX Star 4 IR laser, the most popular laser in the United States. VISX is a world-renowned leader in LASIK technology and equipment, and continues to create vision technology that breaks all boundaries. Like no other laser on the market, the VISX Star 4 IR has several advantages over previous lasers. The VISX Star 4 IR offers variable spot beam technology for quicker treatment times and less corneal tissue removal. The Star 4 IR also provides a larger treatment zone, variable spot scanning technology for more accurate laser treatment, and quicker healing time with fewer complications. A feature called 3-D active eye tracking allows for precise laser targeting despite eye movement.

All of the intense research and development that went into the creation of the Star 4 IR did not disappoint. LASIK patients who choose a LASIK provider offering the Star 4 IR will benefit from many great advantages such as reduced night vision, glare and halo risk. Most importantly, the Star 4 IR allows patients the opportunity to increase their overall vision results. With all the amazing benefits of the VISX Star 4 IR, now LASIK surgeons are able to shape each patient's beam for a fully customizable procedure.
