VISX

VISX is a pioneering medical device company that revolutionized the field of ophthalmology through the development of excimer laser systems for vision correction. The company is best known for its role in the development and commercialization of LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) technologies. Its flagship product, the STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser System, utilizes advanced wavefront-guided technology to provide highly precise treatments for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Originally an independent public company, VISX was acquired by Advanced Medical Optics in 2005 and is now a key part of the Johnson & Johnson Vision portfolio. The VISX platform remains one of the most widely used laser vision correction systems globally.
