Discover the key features of TENEO

Its compact design and intuitive software are designed for the comfort and safety of surgeons and their patients.

Innovative Engineering in a Compact Design

The TENEO excimer laser combines a compact design with advanced speed, optimizing efficiency for both space and performance in clinical settings. 

Smallest footprint: 

The compact design makes the TENEO the smallest excimer laser available in the U.S., maximizing clinical space. 

Advanced eye-tracker:

The eye-tracker, which operates at 1,740Hz, is the fastest of all flying spot excimer lasers in the U.S.

High-speed laser:

Operating at 500Hz, the TENEO has the fastest ablation time of excimer lasers available in the U.S., at approximately 1.2 seconds per diopter.* 
*Based upon calculation using an Optical Zone of 6mm and a standard myopic treatment (PROSCAN mode).

 

"There are no more excuses with TENEO, only high performance benefits."1

— Farrell “Toby” Tyson, MD, FACS

 

 

Streamlined Efficiency for Seamless Workflow

The TENEO excimer laser is designed to enhance surgical efficiency with intuitive features that simplify the process.

GUI touchscreen:

The touchscreen simplifies setup and offers customizable views which show only the patient data selected by the surgeon. 

Innovative software:

The software provides a logical, straightforward process with no nomogram required.

"The software is designed to treat the manifest refraction, and that is one of the most significant contributions that this technology brings to our profession."1

— George O. Waring IV, MD, FACS

 

Unmatched Comfort and Accessibility

The TENEO excimer laser prioritizes both surgeon and patient comfort, enhancing the overall surgical experience.

Surgeon experience:

The 360-degree swiveling microscope adapts to surgeon height and posture.

Patient experience:

The treatment bed swings out for easy access and can be customized to optimize patient head position.

 

"Residents, fellows and new and seasoned refractive surgeons alike can struggle with their nomograms. TENEO has essentially eliminated that issue."1

— Karl G. Stonecipher, MD

With TENEO, you’ll experience outcomes
you need to see to believe.

At nine months postoperative:

97.8%

of eyes showed 20/25 or better and 99.7% of eyes showed 20/40 or better.

More than 50%

of patients achieved 20/16 or better.

34.8%

of eyes gained 1 or more lines of CDVA.

Comparison of Postoperative
Cumulative UDVA and Preoperative CDVA2

Little to No Difficulty Performing Daily Activities3

Patient quality of life satisfaction:

99%

of patients reported having little to no difficulty driving at night.

98%

of LASIK performed with the TENEO yielded high (98%) patient satisfaction.

Significant post-op improvement in contrast sensitivity

"In addition to such positive subjective results, objectively, we saw patients’ contrast sensitivity improve. This is another unique moment for excimer refractive surgery."1

— George O. Waring IV, MD, FACS
