In the wavefront technology process, the wavefront laser uses a very small laser beam that shapes the eye's surface like a delicate brush. The smooth shape of the beam creates an even surface across the entire eye, once again
shortening healing times and providing precise results.
Performance
With WaveLight laser systems the actual treatment time lasts only a few seconds as compared to often longer procedures. An average treatment will take no more than 10 - 12 seconds – in many cases even less.
This faster treatment reduces the healing and recovery time since the stress impact on the eye is lessened and dehydration is reduced.
Quality of Vision
Today, patients want to see better than with their glasses and contact lenses. They want to improve their quality of vision, especially at night and with regards to depth perception and contrast sensitivity.
WaveLight lasers are engineered to consider the natural shape of the human eye, aiming to improve what nature originally designed. The treatment considers the unique curvature and biomechanics of the eye, preserving quality of vision.

The Allegretto Wave has a number of unique technological features that account for its increased safety, precision and outstanding clinical results:
The Allegretto’s operating speed is 400hz – at least four times faster than traditional laser machines.
Its exceptionally rapid laser pulse means the procedure is completed in the shortest possible time this enhances patient comfort creating more consistency and predictability.
The Allegretto uses a 0.95mm diameter true Gausian beam spot that produces the smoothest possible surface after laser treatment.
The Allegretto laser continually monitors the energy output with every pulse during surgery for consistency. The Laser energy is standardised at the start of the day and checked before each treatment.
The Allegretto has a 400 hz eye tracker with a 6mS latency, it uses predictive tracking thereby maintaining better accuracy during surgery, even with eye movement.
The optical pathway is nitrogen purged to prevent ozone formation (which blocks the laser beam). Also having only 3 mirrors means a more consistent laser delivery.
The Allegretto Wavelight has been designed as a fully integrated diagnostic and surgical concept in order to provide physician and patient the highest level of safety and reliability in refractive surgery.
The result is a platform that delivers outstanding clinical performance. |
