cTEN (custom Trans-Epithelial No-touch)

[MrPlastkort]

hei! jeg tok lasik for ca 4 år siden, jeg hadde -10 i brillestyrke, og hatt lite ubehag i ettertid, jeg trengte i senere tid et par ekstra korreksjoner siden jeg har hatt skjeve hornhinner også, nå ser jeg ganske bra og normalt, men jeg merker at synet endrer seg litt på ettermiddagen, at det blir litt mer utydelig på høyre øyne, jeg lurer egentlig på om man kan f.eks ta cTEN etter man har hatt lasik, eller om man må fortsatt da holde seg til lasik om man vil gjøre en ekstra behandling?

@MrPlastkort

Når du har tatt LASIK behandling for brillestyrke -10 og i tillegg har hatt et par ekstra korreksjoner, er det lite sannsynlig at det er rom for å gjøre ytterligere laserbehandlinger. Du kan kontakte SynsLaser i Tromsø eller Oslo for å avtale en undersøkelse for å se på muligheten for en cTEN behandling.

Om man først skal gjøre en rebehandling er det tryggere og i tillegg mulighet for bedre resultat om rebehandlingen utføres med cTEN metoden.

hvorfor tar denne cTEN rund 20 til 30 sekunder mens video på høyre side oppe der viser det at det tar rund 6 min??

[Stiffen1]

Det kan være forskjellig teknikk fra kirurg til kirurg. Ved våre klinikker, Tromsø og Oslo, er du inne på operasjonsstuen i ca. 7-8 min. og da er begge øyne behandlet. Selve laserdelen tar ca. 20-30 sekunder pr. øye.

cTEN er den raskeste metoden på markedet.

[xzaxx]

@Stiffen1 det er bra at det tar så kort tid. jeg spurte dette spørsmålet fra cten.no de sa til meg at det tar ca 15 minutter for begge øyener. men håper at det tar ikke mer enn 30 sekunder. grunne til at jeg spør er fordi du vet man får vond når man har øyne sitt åpen så lenge uten å blunke. jeg skal det ta på den ene øye mitt om noen år med cten. :)

im 13 right now and when i grow up my mom says shell pay for lasik eye surgery but i wanna know if this is better than lasik or PRK. I wanna know from which of these three are better

a. PRK

b. Lasik

c. cTEN

lol maybe when im 18 or older theyll have something better i dont know :P

[Stiffen1]

@XFavioxXx

There are many criterias you have to consider. Surgery invasivity, post opr. recovery time (this also includes post opr. pain manegent), the corneas post opr. biomechanical stability, incidens of post opr. complications.... If you take all of this into account, what procedure is best still depends on who is the surgeon, laser used, your corneal refraction, procedure. We use a 1 000 Hz Italian laser and with this platform we have had best results with cTEN.

1. cTEN

2. PRK

3. LASIK

[xzaxx]

jeg lurte på hvor lenge må synet være stabil for at dere i synslaser skal laseroperere nærsynhet?

[Stiffen1]

@xzaxx

Ja, dette er video fra synslaser. Det stemmer at Synslaser er de eneste som tilbyr cTEN i Norge per i dag.

Det er ikke noe absolutt krav om at synet skal være stabilt, men det er absolutt en fordel. Som en tommelfingerregel kan man si at synet bør ha vært stabilt i 2-3 år.

[xzaxx]

er dette video fra synslaser? tror det er bare dem som har cTEN laser.

[xzaxx]

hei. hvor lenge tar behandlingen av nærsynhet med cTEN? denne filmen varer 34 sec. varer det så lenge? er cTEN den raskeste metoden enn de andre metodene?

[Stiffen1]

Hei! Til sammenlignig så tar en cTEN behandling under halve tiden i forhold til en LASIK eller IntraLASIK.

Ved cTEN er man inne på operasjonsstuen i ca. 7-8 minutter (total behandlingstid av begge øyne). Selve laserdelen av behandlingen på et nærsynt øye tar vanligvis mellom 20-30 sec.

cTEN er den raskeste metoden på markedet.

[loir99]

all are same prk,lasik and cten --you will be fried

[albula642]

Is there anything bad about c-ten? It seems to beat the crap out of every other laser methods!

[xzaxx]

@albula642 the bad thing is that the healing time is long. since you dont cut a flap. but its much safer than lasik PRK and other types of laser surgery

[carving80]

På Nya Ögon i stockholm så använder dom denna metod

Mycket bra ställe

Trevlig personal

[Stiffen1]

Det er bra at flere og flere får øynene opp for denne behandlingsformen. No-touch, all-laser surface ablations er en tryggere metode samenlignet med LASIK. Nya Ögon virker som en bra klinikk :-)

[Stiffen1]

The patients job during the surgery is to look at a read light. The only instrument used is an speculum, to keep you from blinking. There is an high-speed, synchronous eye tracker in the laser. If you look to the right or left, the laser follows.

[CaptainClass]

How is the eye held in place? What would happen if I randomly looked to the left during the op?

[iammdeepak1]

is there no microkeratome blade , no suction ring, no mechanical device of any sort? Thats COOOOOL. Elimiates a good mart of the risk involved!!

[Stiffen1]

@iammdeepak1

After starting with the cTEN procedure, our clinic have completely stopped doing LASIK. cTEN, is a one-step, no-touch, all-laser process in which a custom refractive treatment is performed without the discomfort of keratome or laser keratome high level suction on the eye, and with the safety advantages of not creating a flap in the stroma.

[Raphi3982]

I had a c-ten operation last Thursday. It's really fast, and you feel nothing at all! I am thrilled :-)

[Stiffen1]

Which doctor did you use?

[Raphi3982]

@Stiffen1 I'm from switzerland and we have just one who can do this...

[jul17zep18]

At about 15 seconds, you can actually see the epithelial breakthrough centrally. The epithelium is shiny and the underlying stroma is dull. The laser then starts etching the treatment onto the stroma as the epithelial removal extends to the periphery. Only the necessary epithelium is removed, no more. Refractive surgery does not get any more advanced than this. cTen is the only refractive procedure I would consider getting.

[jul17zep18]

yes, Dr. Alex Stajonvic in Tromsoe, Norway

[jul17zep18]

A few other doctors in Europe use it, But Dr. Stajanovic is the most well known. There are so few systems in use because it is significantly more expensive than the closest competitor. But the expense is there for a reason: it is the most advanced refractive laser there is and It is by far the best system to correct problems from prior surgery.

[freaky011]

@jul17zep18: what about iLasik though? Which technique is more precise: cTEN or iLASIK?

[jul17zep18]

@freaky011 : Definately cTEN. iLASIK still makes a flap. There is no good reason to have a flap cut in your eye (that NEVER fully heals) if you can avoid it. A flap reduces the precision of the final shape and weakens the cornea significantly.

[freaky011]

@jul17zep18: thank you very much!

[limeblast]

How did the operation went?!?

Maybe going to have this operation in the future because im under 18. Is there a site with more information on this teatment?

[kimkep]

oh it went well, some pain the first days, difficutly seeing.. it has now been over 6 mo since i had the operation and i have about 0,5 difference on both eyes, it's not 20/20, but i see clearly and don't need glasses. you should wait till you are at least 18, maybe even 20. or at least until the eyesight is stable for about 1yr. i had it done in norway and it cost about 30000nok (apx. 5500 usd), but it was worth it imo. im glad i came over this technique as it seems to be a lot safer than lasik

[psedog]

If you are in the Virginia area, then check out FIRST COLONIAL EYE CENTER. They specialize in a procedure called supra-lase. This is a no touch procedure similar to the Trans-PRK in this video. They have a video on their site as well.

[iotubo81]

I have found what this video is about.

Check the iVIS Technologies website.

LASIK is finally all over the news and showed to be causing great concern. Google: LASIK FDA, LASIK SUICIDES, LifeAfterLasik, Lasik-Flap. The 95% success rate is bogus. We spoke in front of the FDA Panel this week telling them that there are about 10,000 hurt LASIK patients, not the reported 140 complaints they are stating. Anyway. Google:  Brian Williams LASIK FDA NBC, LASIK CBS, LASIK ABC, LASIK CBC.

[dkantis]

The best decision you could make is to NOT have LASIK, and never mess with a healthy cornea. Look into OrthoK or PRK if you have refractive surgery. Definitely google: lasik suicides, lasik dry eye, lifeafterlasik, and lasik-flap.
