| Technolas Perfect Vision Symposiumat the 2009 ESCRS Congress in Barcelona
The XXVII Congress of the ESCRS is taking place from the 12th to the 16th of September 2009. It will be held in Barcelona, Spain, one of the most exciting cities in Europe; a wonderful venue to host the ESCRS Congress, as well as the Technolas Perfect Vision Lunchtime Symposium (TPV Symposium). The TPV Symposium will focus on the two most recent, major innovations in refractive surgery: presbyopia correction with Femtosecond or Excimer laser and Personalized Treatment Advanced (PTA), the ultimate algorithm to treat myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia, thus correcting HOA without inducing spherical aberration.  The Technolas Per fect Vision Lunchtime Symposium will be held on Monday, September 14th, 2009, from 1:00 to 2:00pm, in Room 114 of the CCIB Convention Centre, Barcelona, Spain. A complimentary lunch will be provided to all attendees. The President of the TPV Symposium is Dr. Steven Slade. The programme consists of the following topics: INTRACOR™ The first flapless intrastromal presbyopia correction with the Technolas Femtosecond Workstation - personal experience and CE study results. (CE Mark received April 2009). Dr. Mike Holzer PresbyLasik The new ZYOPTIX® Excimer laser algorithm for presbyopia correction - personal experience and CE study results. Dr. Jorge Castanera ZYOPTIX® Personalized Treatment Advanced (PTA) The new and only algorithm that corrects low and high order aberration without inducing spherical aberration - personal experience and clinical study results. Dr. Erik Mertens ZYOPTIX® Tissue Saving Hyperopia The only algorithm exclusively designed to save tissue in hyperopia - personal experience and clinical results.

| ZYOPTIX® Personalized Treatment Advanced (PTA) - Our best Excimer procedure ever ZYOPTIX® Personalized Treatment Advanced (PTA), the ultimate algorithm developed in the refractive market, is the first and only one that treats HOA without inducing spherical aberration. PTA is a wavefront-based algorithm that combines a wavefront module to correct pre-existing high order aberrations (HOA) with an aspheric module to compensate for LASIK induced spherical aberrations. This results in optimal postoperative visual per formance and unmatched visual acuity, especially in poor light conditions. The superb outcomes and fast visual recovery lead to unprecedented patient satisfaction, dramatically reducing the retreatment ratio.
PTA handles myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia, thus correcting pre-existing and surgically-induced aberrations. In terms of HOA control and clinical per formance, PTA is the best algorithm to date (see graphic nº 1). PTA improves the patient’s quality of life by delivering unmatched quality of vision. To achieve this, PTA uses state-of-art technology such as: - Iris Recognition for enhanced safety - Advanced Control Eyetracking (ACE™) Technology for improved precision and safety - Advanced Personalized Technologies (APT ) for enhanced ease of use - ZYOPTIX® Advanced Nomogram for enhanced predictability According to Dr Chang’s multi-centre study of 138 eyes in Asia, PTA significantly reduces postoperative spherical aberration, providing the optimal algorithm in terms of higher-order aberration control and clinical per formance.
