Our
Technology Why our laser vision technology is so important for you The Excimer Laser is one of the greatest inventions in ophthalmology. The Excimer Laser is the device that physically corrects your prescription during surgery. Because laser vision correction is based on the microscopic removal of corneal tissue at the molecular level it is impossible to achieve this type of accuracy manually. No other device has provided patients the opportunity to reduce or eliminate their dependency on glasses and contacts as precise as excimer lasers. Although many people perceive laser technology to be the same, there are vast differences between one laser versus another. One question that should be raised prior to your surgery is whether the laser being used is the newest in laser vision correction technology. By having your eyes treated with the newest in laser vision technology it increases your chances for a successful outcome. We currently use Wavelight Allegretto Eye-Q excimer laser as our default laser. The older version of this laser which is Allegretto wave has the best FDA results ever achieved. You will be astonished with our laser which treats 2 Diopters of myopia under 3 seconds.. NEW INTRALASE FS-30
1. Creating a very thin flap of tissue that is folded back during treatment. 2. Reshaping the exposed surface with the Excimer laser and replacing the flap.
Featuring all advantages of the well-known ALLEGRETTO WAVE, the
ALLEGRETTO WAVE Eye-Q is a further step towards optimizing the process
of laser vision correction. With customized ablation in mind, all
ophthalmic WaveLight products have been designed as a fully-integrated
concept in order to provide physician and patient the highest level
of safety and reliability in refractive surgery. Q-Value Adjustment Adjustment of the corneal asphericity (also known as the “Q-Value”)
can have influence in affecting the visual acuity in mesopic and
scotopic conditions. Q-Value Adjustment allows the physician to customize
the asphericity of the patient´s cornea. Additional feature
of this software is the ability to fine tune optical zones, transition
zones and correction values. Cross Lines A cross line projector is integrated into the ALLEGRETTO WAVE Eye-Q. This device will help the physician to accurately align the patient´s eye for all types of treatments, therefore enabling more precise correction of astigmatism and higher order aberrations. Speed Efficient treatment with fast pulse repetition minimizes the effects of dehydration of the cornea as well as external influences during surgery. In order to further optimize the refractive procedure itself, the repetition rate has been increased to 400 Hz in the ALLEGRETTO WAVE Eye-Q. This makes the ALLEGRETTO WAVE Eye-Q the fastest excimer laser currently available on the market. It allows the physician to perform a 6-diopter myopia correction on a fully corrected optical zone of 6.5 mm less than 15 seconds. Wavefront Optimized Ablation Profiles The ALLEGRETTO WAVE excimer lasers were the first lasers to use
wavefront optimized ablation profiles, thus integrating an important
wavefront guided treatment feature in standard laser vision correction.
Laser surgery executed without a wavefront optimized ablation profile
may result in altering the corneal asphericity in the peripheral
correction area. These so-called induced spherical aberrations in
the wavefront image may result in the patient experiencing problems
with night vision or under mesopic conditions. Small Beam Diameter Due to the small laser spot with a diameter of 0.95mm (0.68mm FWHM, Full Width Half Maximum), the ALLEGRETTO WAVE laser systems work with a very high resolution and are able to create finest curvatures on the cornea - as required for customized laser vision correction. True Optical Zones The small spot creates the desired contour of the correction profile with utmost precision, thereby minimizing the total overall ablation depth. Combining a wavefront optimized beam profile with small laser spots allows for the creation of a large effective optical zone with a very small transition area. Eyetracker
Slow or older lasers work on the same principle. Although the eyetracker can see the eye moving, it is too slow to react and may miss the targeted area of the cornea. ALLEGRO Topolyzer Speed Precision Better Vision
ALLEGRO T-CAT Treatment ALLEGRO Topolyzer and T-CAT have been optimized to complete the
range of customized laser vision correction and to interact in perfect
synchronization with the ALLEGRETTO WAVE excimer laser systems. All
necessary treatment and patient parameters are transferred from the
ALLEGRO Topolyzer to the ALLEGRETTO WAVE laser systems via diskette,
mini CD or memory stick. The ALLEGRO T-CAT software inside the laser´s
notebook then calculates the appropriate correction pattern. The
physician may, however, decide to change individual parameters at
any stage of the process. The ALLEGRO Topolyzer may also be used as a stand-alone diagnostic
instrument for regular topography measurements which are always required
in refractive surgery. Integrated in the device is a keratoconus
detection software and optional pupillometry software is also available.

Speed · Precision · Better Vision The successful treatment of vision disorders requires accurate diagnosis.
As the first company worldwide in the industry to perform wavefront
guided treatments on the human eye, WaveLight has accumulated a vast
experience in the clinical application and integrated these experiences
in their product line. ALLEGRO A-CAT Treatment The ALLEGRO Analyzer has been specifically designed to deliver wavefront
data needed to perform safe and successful wavefront guided laser
vision correction. All components such as the user interface, resolution
and algorithms have been optimized to work in concert with the ALLEGRETTO
WAVE laser systems. Tscherning Principle Working in the visible spectrum, the ALLEGRO Analyzer is designed
to make wavefront measurements by utilizing the Tscherning operating
principle, which works as the same principle as the human eye. In
order to perform a measurement according to this principle, an image
of the measurement spots is projected onto the retina. This allows
the physician to constantly verify that the image has been taken
properly and that all measurement spots are actually valid. The application
of this measurement principle allows for the detection of inaccurate
readings caused by local obstructions. Our Microkeratome Technology We use Moria Microkeratome Evolution3 Platform in combination with M2 motors powered with CLB. We use multiple heads and motors in order to keep our strict operaring environment The reason for us to choose this combination for mikrokeratectomy (flap creation) is the unsurpassed precision of the system. For example this system has been found twice more precise than femtosecond laser microkeratome and does not cause Transient Light Sensitivity Syndrome. For microkeratomes precision means safety especially in cases of critical corneal thickness. Besides these pluses Slow Vacuum Release (SVR) of the system is a critical comfort component of the platform we especially like to use. Moria Microkeratome M3 The LASIK Plateform Introducing the new Evolution3 - the console that is fully compatible with and drives all current and future Moria microkeratomes:
Provide the ability to fixate the globe during laser ablation. Can be use on the reverse keratome pass for extremely gentle flap manipulation.
Reduced patient discomfort with activation of suction. Gradual release of vacuum to minimize potential trauma to retina.
Customization of flap parameters to suit individual patient needs. Flexibility to manage various corneal conditions.

in LASIK. We can now perform an all laser, LASIK procedure. Laser
Vision Correction is often associated solely with the Excimer
laser, but there are actually two very important steps in correcting
your vision: 
Speed · Precision · Better Vision 
Not all eyetrackers are created equally. Ensure that the eyetracker
has a sampling rate faster than 400 Hertz. The reason why this is
so important is because your eye can twitch at a rate of 60 Hz. If
your eye twitches faster or at the same speed as the eyetracker then
the eyetracker may not be able to get the appropriate readings of
the movement of the eye. In turn, the laser may not be able to place
the right pulse of the laser in the appropriate section of the cornea
because of the lack of information. What is also extremely important
is the ability of the laser to react to the information being sent
to it from the eyetracker. The response time of the laser must be
very fast to ensure that each laser pulse is placed exactly on the
appropriate part of the cornea. Even if the laser can sample the
movement of the eye 1000 times but the laser reacts slowly to this
information, the result is that the laser may be placing pulses on
areas of the cornea based on old information.The best example of the
relationship between the eyetracker and the laser is to try and imagine
throwing a ball at a moving object
that is going 400 miles an hour. Although you can see the moving
object, your reflexes are too slow to adjust to the constant changes
of the moving object. As a result, every time you throw the ball
you are missing the moving object.
The basis for successful treatment of visual disorders is an accurate
diagnosis. Working with the ALLEGRO Topolyzer means utilizing an
ideal device to support the decision-making process for customized
laser vision correction. By determining the patient’s exact
visual correction needs, it greatly enhances the range of possible
treatments, from WaveLight's “wavefront optimized” procedure
to the highly sophisticated topography guided treatment.
