Allegreto Wavelight Laser
The Wavelight Allegretto was the first excimer laser used to perform wavefront-guided treatments. Wavefront technology is used to measure aspects of the eyes' refractive error that are undetectable by traditional scans. In addition to the wavefront feature, the Wavelight Allegretto offers a number of unique optical measurement instruments:
• Eyetracker: a 250Hz eyetracker reacts to the eye's movements within 4 to 8 milliseconds so that the excimer laser can be properly positioned
• Beam Size: a small beam less than 1 mm in diameter with a gaussian profile for smoother ablation
• Speed: the Wavelight Allegretto system applies 200 individual laser pulses per second to help prevent adverse effects
• Optical Zones: the combination of optical zones from 5.5 mm to 8 mm allows the surgeon to perform the treatment with reduced night vision problems
These features, along with the Wavelight Allegretto's ability to treat a larger area of the cornea allow our surgeons to create a corneal shape that is more natural. This results in a higher quality of vision, particularly under low luminance conditions, as well as the reduction or elimination of glare and halos during night driving.
