Florida Vision Lasik

ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Eye-Q Laser is a revolutionary approach to laser vision correction that minimizes problems associated with older generation lasers, such as night vision reduction, glare and halos. The success of the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® can be directly measured by our patients’ remarkable improvement in visual acuity and their low-occurrence of side effects.

The ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Excimer Laser System is a leader in Wave Light technology, a revolutionary approach to laser vision correction. ALLEGRETTO WAVE® uses Wavefront-Optimized™ technology to automatically compensate for the curvature of the cornea. In earlier laser-correction systems, the optical zone, or area of correction, was centered on the front of the cornea. This resulted in a flattened, circular corneal area with an abrupt edge, causing unwanted side effects like poor night vision, glare and halos.

The ALLEGRETTO WAVE® incorporates PerfectPulse Technology™ to send precise pulses to the peripheral corneal area. This preserves the aspherical shape of the cornea in a way that older lasers could not. This combined with the incredibly small laser beam, produces a smooth, effective optical zone and results in significantly-improved vision. The ALLEGRETTO WAVE® features smart-energy control, eye-tracking technology and innovative and redundant safeguards. Results from clinical study of the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® have been extremely positive.

Highlights from Clinical Study:

• First system to allow customized correction for patients with presbyopia.

• 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.

• Both near- and far-sighted patients reported an improvement in their reaction to bright lights and night driving glare after ALLEGRETTO WAVE® treatments. In addition, near-sighted patients reported an improvement in sensitivity to light.

• Predictable results are the norm for the ALLEGRETTO WAVE®. More than 90% of patients achieve refraction within 1 diopter of their target correction.

Florida Vision LASIK chose ALLEGRETTO WAVE® technology because it expands the boundaries of candidacy for LASIK. ALLEGRETTO WAVE® is a revolutionary approach to laser vision correction that minimizes problems associated with older generation lasers, such as night vision reduction, glare and halos. The success of the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® can be directly measured by our patients’ remarkable improvement in visual acuity and their low-occurrence of side effects.

There are certain conditions that may affect your candidacy for LASIK and ALLEGRETTO WAVE®. We encourage you to arrange an appointment with us to discuss the best vision correction option for you.
