Carl Zeiss MEL-90: A New Era in LASIK Technology

Dishler Laser Institute is proud to be the first in Colorado to use the Carl Zeiss MEL-90 excimer laser. This advancement enhances our commitment to precision, safety, and delivering outstanding visual results.
The MEL-90 is the latest innovation from Carl Zeiss, a global leader in ophthalmic technology. Known for setting the gold standard in optics, Zeiss has created a laser platform that blends cutting-edge science with intuitive usability, allowing surgeons to customize treatments to each patient’s unique needs. This addition to our practice solidifies our position at the forefront of refractive surgery and underscores our ongoing mission to provide the most advanced care possible.
What Makes the MEL-90 So Advanced?
The MEL-90 isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a leap forward in how LASIK and PRK surgeries are performed. Here’s what sets it apart:
High-Speed Performance
The MEL-90 functions at 500 Hz, correcting 1 diopter of prescription in just 1.3 seconds. Faster procedures with shorter laser times provide patients more efficient results and greater comfort during treatment.
Superior Ablation Control
With Zeiss’ unique Triple-A ablation profile, the MEL-90 provides smoother treatments with improved corneal surface quality and better preservation of tissue—especially important for patients with thinner corneas.
Enhanced Safety Features
Real-time eye tracking and advanced treatment algorithms ensure the laser follows even the smallest movements, giving our patients greater peace of mind.
Why This Matters for You
Technology matters when it comes to your eyes. With advanced tools, we provide precise treatments, faster recovery, and improved visual outcomes. Whether you’re a candidate for LASIK or PRK, the MEL-90 allows us to offer solutions that are more personalized and data-driven than ever before.
Patients can now benefit from:
- Improved accuracy in correcting nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism
- Improved night vision outcomes due to optimized corneal reshaping
- Reduced risk of postoperative complications
- Shorter treatment times and faster recovery
A Legacy of Innovation

Being the first in Colorado to offer the MEL-90 is more than just a milestone—it’s a continuation of our legacy. Dr. Jon Dishler has been a pioneer in refractive surgery for over three decades, contributing to FDA trials, publishing peer-reviewed research, and continually adopting the most progressive technologies available. The MEL-90 aligns perfectly with our commitment to being at the forefront of patient care.
