Allegretto Wave

The first wave front-guided treatment was performed in 1999 on a Wave Light laser, and since then, the company has taken its technology to a new level. The ALLEGRETTO WAVE is, today, the fastest excimer laser system available in the United States, treating one diopter of correction in only four seconds. This means that the average low myopic (nearsighted) treatment takes around 10 seconds or less... about the time it takes to pour a cup of coffee. This rapid treatment speed has been demonstrated to increase predictability and reduce the incidence of complications.

Quality of Vision By Pulse Laser

The cornea, or outer window of the eye, is aspherical, or egg shaped, bending light rays entering the eye to one point of focus.	Using wave front-optimized algorithms as lit corrects your vision, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE creates aspherical corneas, customized to each patient's corneal curvature.	A spherical, or round cornea shape could result in multiple points of focus and create spherical distortions that can cause night vision problems such as halos and glare.

Understanding that all eyes are not the same, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE'S wavefront-optimized treatment takes into consideration each patient's individual corneal steepness. In doing so, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE applies its wavefront-optimized treatment profile that specifically addresses spherical distortions that can potentially cause glare and may influence night vision.

PerfectPulse Safety

Working at such high speed, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE relies on its unique PerfectPulse Technology^TM to accurately control the energy level and exact placement of every laser pulse as it reaches the eye. The high-speed, active eye tracker is another key component to this technology and will follow even the fastest eye movements during treatment. Should the eye ever move out of range, the eye tracker automatically pauses the treatment until it is back in range.

Reasons to choose the Allegretto Wave

• Safety: Perfect Pulse Technology precisely controls every single laser pulse during the treatment.
• Quality of Vision: Wavefront-optimization customizes the treatment to each patient's corneal curvature.
• Performance: The ALLEGRETTO WAVE is the fastest excimer laser in the United States.
