| ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ |
 |
|
Thanks to advanced technology, we can now treat not only your refractive error but also correct the subtle imperfections that are unique to your eye.
The ALLEGRETTO WAVE™, built by WaveLight, extends possibilities beyond 20/20, and minimizes problems associated with older generation lasers, such as reduced night vision, glare, and haloes. |
|
| WAVEFRONT TECHNOLOGY |
One of the most innovative features of the ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ is the way it uses wavefront-optimized technology to automatically compensate for the curvature of the cornea. In earlier laser correction systems, area of correction was centered on the front of the cornea; the result was a flattened circular area that ended with an abrupt edge, causing unwanted side effects like poor night vision, glare, and haloes.

Glare from lights may interfere with vision, particularly at night, and may cause difficulties driving. |
|
 |
ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ changes all that. Because of the eye’s natural curve, the laser light has a tendency to reflect when it meets the edge of the cornea. To compensate for this reflection, The ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ sends extra pulses to the peripheral cornea area, so the aspherical shape of the cornea is preserved to a degree that older lasers simply could not achieve. Maintaining the aspherical shape helps to prevent higher order aberrations that can potentially cause glare and haloes from night driving and bright lights. This compensation, combined with the incredibly small, 1mm size of the laser, produces a smooth, effective optical zone that results in what can only be described as results in sharper, clearer vision.

| SMART ENERGY |
You can have peace of mind that the amount of energy in the ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ laser has been calibrated to exactly the right level. After the beam has been created, it passes through three checkpoints on its way to your eye. At each of these points, the energy level is checked and adjusted if necessary, ensuring that the beam is perfectly attuned at its destination. |
| LARGE OPTICAL ZONES |
| The optical zone refers to the portion of the cornea that has been corrected by the laser. ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ is capable of producing some of the largest available optical zones, especially important for night vision, and for patients with very large pupils. If a patient’s pupil is larger than the optical zone, they may experience poor peripheral vision, poor night vision, and a higher than normal incidence of “haloes” and glare. In the past, this has been one of the biggest drawbacks to conventional laser correction surgery. |
| EYE TRACKING TECHNOLOGY |
Due to the remarkable speed of both the eye and the ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ procedure, the laser beam needs to be constantly and minutely adjusted to the position of the eye at any given time.
Three eye trackers survey and track movement at 200 times per second. More importantly, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE™’s response time is the fastest available for any laser, which ensures precision because every pulse is delivered to the exact spot it was intended. You will also be comforted knowing the eye tracking automatically pauses treatment should the eye ever move out of range. Watch the animated eye tracking clip below. (see video clip) |
| SUPERIOR CLINICAL RESULTS |
ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ has been proven to provide superior clinical results, as shown by the following statistics:
- At one year after treatment, more than 93% of patients said they saw at least as well or better than they had with glasses or contacts before treatment.
- More than 98% of patients achieved 20/40 vision one year after treatment; 20/40 is the level of
visual acuity required to pass most driving tests.
- Nearly 60% of near-sighted patients achieved 20/16 vision after one year of treatment.
Predictable results are the norm for the ALLEGRETTO WAVE™. More than 90% of patients
achieve refraction within 1 diopter of their target correction.
