What Patients Have To Say About Coal Harbour LASIK Eye Centres
"Thanks to Dr. Kirzner and the Coal Harbour LASIK Eye Centre staff for helping me get rid of my glasses & contacts!" —Alex Auld, Goaltender, Former Vancouver Canucks, Current Florida Panthers
"Greetings! After much thought and trepidation, I finally booked an appointment with Dr. Steve. The day of the surgery found me nervous and tense. At the clinic I saw people relaxing in leather recliners with blankets and large aquariums in each waiting room. After pre-op and still a little tense I met Dr. Steve and instantly I fell into a calm and relaxed state. His confidence and calm professional manner made me think of how great it was going to be...to wake up every morning and be able to see, without blurring! Of course, all went very well and (against recommendations)I drove my girlfriend and myself home to Kelowna that night with crystal clear vision. I've never had any problems since. Oh yeah, ...this was in March 1998....Thanks again Dr. Steve!!" —R. Pfob, Kelowna
"Thanks to all the staff and Dr. Kirzner at Coal Harbour LASIK Eye Centre for helping me free myself from my glasses." —Brian Burke, Former General Manager of the Vancouver Canucks, Current General Manager of Anaheim Mighty Ducks
"Thanks for freeing my eyes from contacts and glasses. Whether we are climbing rocks or mountains, I can see clearly now thanks to you and your great team. Should the opportunity arise, I would be happy to share my LASIK Eye Centres experience with other RK patients." —Charles Sikes

Bausch & Lomb "New" Wavefront Technology
Coal Harbour LASIK Eye Centre uses Bausch & Lomb's "New" Zyoptix 100 technology. The most advanced technology in laser vision correction has enabled Coal Harbour LASIK Eye Centre to offer the safest and most accurate laser refractive corrective available today. The B&L Zyoptix 100 laser has the following benefits:
- The first laser in North America incorporating advanced Iris Recognition and 3-D eye tracking technology for enhanced Safety and Accuracy. This ensures an identical alignment between the pre-operative measurement and the laser treatment for every eye, by measuring the precise rotational position of the eye during surgery, by matching the iris patterns captured during the pre-operative exam. This allows the laser to correct for "cyclotorsion" — the slight rotation of the eye that can occur when the patient changes from a sitting up to a laying down position.
- A multidimensional Eye Tracker that locks the laser onto the eye during surgery at the exact spot as the pre-operative measurement to significantly increase accuracy.
- The B&L Zyoptix 100 laser provides faster treatment times and faster tracking for improved safety and predictability.
- The B&L Zyoptix 100 laser has one of the largest treatment zones available, which allows the treatment size to be bigger than the pupil size at night, decreasing night-vision problems.
- Tissue saving, which leaves 25 percent more tissue in the corneal bed than previous technology.
