Only WaveLight® technology allows your surgeon
to create a personalized treatment plan, with
treatment options that take into account your
unique visual needs for your best results. Utilizing
the advanced technology of the WaveLight®
Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Laser, Eye Care One will
perform the LASIK treatment that’s customized for
you.
The WaveLight® Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Laser was
designed to preserve the natural curvature of your
eye. As a result, LASIK with WaveLight® refractive
technology can help preserve the quality of your
vision ensuring your eyes are at their most natural
and their most useful.
Our laser is designed to provide outstanding results
by combining high speed laser technology, precise
beam positioning and flexibility of personalized
treatment plans.
PERFORMANCE
QUALITY OF VISION
The Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q is one of the fastest
excimer laser systems available in the United States
and Eye Care One is the only facility to have this
laser in Augusta and Aiken.
The laser treats one diopter of correction in only
four seconds. This means the average nearsighted
treatment takes around 10 seconds less than
previous treatment times. The increased treatment
speed and time has been demonstrated to
increase predictability and reduce the incidence of
complications.
SAFETY
The Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q relies on its Perfect
Pulse Technology to control the high speed, energy
level and the direction and placement of each laser
pulse as it reaches the eye. The active eye tracker is
a key component to the success of this technology.
It will follow the fastest eye movements during
treatment, even pausing if the eye moves out of
range.
The Cornea of the eye is aspherical
or egg shaped, bending light rays
entering the eye to one point of
focus.
A spherical or round cornea shape
could result in multiple point
of focus and create spherical
distortions that can cause night
vision problems such as
halos and glare.
Using wavefront-optimized
algorithms the Allegretto Wave®
Eye-Q creates aspherical corneas,
customized to each patient’s
corneal curvature.
The WaveLight® Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Lasers are designed to work with each patient’s individual
prescription and cornea while aiming to improve what nature originally designed. The proprietary
Wavefront Optimized® treatment considers the unique curvature of the eye, preserving quality of vision
and addressing the spherical distortions that may induce glare and affect night vision.
Experience perfectly balanced technology that’s
customized to fit your vision needs. Finding out
about the health of your eyes and measuring your
refractive error is the first step toward laser vision
correction. Call (706) 651-1291 today and make
an appointment to determine if you are a good
candidate.
