One of the first lasers to gain FDA approval in the United States, the EC-5000 features an innovative scanning technology that provides a smooth, uniform treatment surface. This is a vast improvement over earlier lasers that left ridges or grooves that could distort vision.

This system is designed to perform treatments over a large area, allowing vision correction procedures for patients with large pupils. It is FDA-approved to treat mild to high degrees of nearsightedness with and without astigmatism.

During the LASIK procedure, the EC-5000 monitors system parameters continuously, ensuring proper treatment.
