Place the topical anesthetic on the eye (0.5% Proparacaine).

Centre the TREATMENT EYE under the microscope and then turn on the fixation occluder asking the patient to look at the green occluder light. Move the occluder until the TREATMENT EYE is once again centered under the microscope while maintaining fixation on the light with the non-treatment eye. Tape the fixation occluder in place.

Using a gloved hand, unwrap the inner pack containing the AMOILS Epithelial Scrubber and mount it on the neck of the Power Handle.

SET THE MICROSCOPE AT LOW (10x) MAGNIFICATION

Insert a lid Speculum

Check that the patient is maintaining fixation on the occluder light and that the treatment eye pupil is centered under the microscope.

Mark the area of epithelium to be removed with a corneal marker.

PLACE A FEW DROPS OF CHILLED B.S.S. (Balanced Salt Solution) ON THE INVERTED SCRUBBER TIP.

Place a few drops of chilled BSS on the patients Cornea.

Turn on the device and bring the AMOILS Epithelial Scrubber gently in contact with the patients Corneal Epithelium using the microscope to keep it centered.

Within a few seconds the Epithelium will be removed in a specific zone centered around the pupil. Note that the edges of the zone are much smoother than manual removal methods.

TURN OFF the Fixation Occluder before proceeding with PRK.
