Technology is a vital part of performing effective vision correction procedures. With an absolute commitment to optimal patient outcomes Dr Wolfe realises the need for continued investment in the latest technology to be a leader in the industry.
At Vistaeyes, we treat our patients with the latest in state-of-the-art care – Blade Free LASIK with Intralase® and the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q excimer laser.
IntraLase™
The IntraLase™ method is the first technology to offer a truly all-laser, blade-free LASIK procedure – replacing the hand-held microkeratome blade historically used in creating LASIK corneal flaps - by using a computer-guided, ultra-fast fem-to-second laser.
The IntraLase™ laser virtually eliminates the most severe sight-threatening LASIK complications related to use of the microkeratome and, by creating an optimal corneal surface below the flap, provides for better visual outcomes taking many patients to 20/20 vision and beyond.
It is the safest and most advanced laser eye technology in the world, and it’s clinically proven to increase your potential to achieve 20/20 vision.
Introducing the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q
At Vistaeyes, we use the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q, allowing us to customise treatments to each patient’s individual prescription and cornea. This advancement in vision correction technology offers increased treatment speed, superior clinical results, predictable outcomes and a maximum level of safety for our patients.
Benefits of the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q:
• Many patients are concerned about eye movement during treatment. With PerfectPulse Technology ™ high-speed eye tracker, the eye’s position is measured 400 times per second. Even when your eye moves, the treatment remains perfectly centred. This makes the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q one of the safest, most effective optical lasers available.
• Safety is built into the Allegretto laser through its Smart Energy Control. After the laser beam has been created, it passes through three checkpoints on its way to your eye. At each of these points, the energy level is checked and adjusted if necessary, to ensure the beam is perfect before reaching the eye – allowing for extreme precision. • Wavefront-optimised technology adjusts for the individual curvature of the patients cornea so that a larger optical zone is created during laser eye surgery. This maintains the spherical shape of the eye, minimising the risk of poor night vision, glare and halos associated with other lasers – and providing our patients with the very best visual outcome. • Customises your treatment to your unique individual prescription and eye structure – this allows for the best most appropriate treatment for your eyes.
• The fastest treatment time of any laser in Australia – treats the average patient in 6 seconds per eye. Spending less time on the laser means less stress and discomfort for you. • Proven superior clinical results – In order to receive permission from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat patients in the United States, WaveLight was required to conduct a strictly controlled clinical study on more than 1,200 myopic and hyperopic eyes and then monitor and report the results over a one-year period following the treatments. The outcomes not only fulfilled the rigid standards of the American regulatory authorities, they exceeded them. Thus WaveLight effectively demonstrated the precision and stability of its laser. click here for FDA results
