Excimer Laser

The Excimer laser  : «Allegretto Wave»

 

The ALLEGRETTO WAVE laser system incorporates all the decisive elements necessary for successful refractive operations:

  • A rapid response, video assisted, target tracking system (Eyetracker) ensures that the flap is replaced to its exact position - even by unforeseen movement.
  • The ceramic laser head works with a high recurring frequency ensuring a rapid and accurate treatment.
  • The small beam width enables high precision, minimizing total incision depth. This in combination with the topographically produced incision profile results in large, round and effective optical zones, whilst optimizing transitional zones.

 

WaveLight has also established itself in the dinostic field with its dinostic systems - ALLEGRO Analyzer and ALLEGRO Topolyzer. This equipment is based on the principles of topography. They are optimally designed for the laser systems and guide to the best possible treatment solutions.


People undergoing laser procedures with Allegretto Wave will benefit from the laser’s unique ability to reshape the eye while compensating for the cornea’s naturally aspheric (not perfectly round) shape.


Unlike older excimer lasers, which remove eye tissue in a central, flat manner that creates an edge, Allegretto Wave’s PerfectPulse technology uniformly applies tiny pinpoints of laser pulses adjusted to each eye’s specific curvature. With this unique system, eye tissue is reshaped in a smooth, consistent manner that provides the very best vision result.
