During your LASIK procedure, your eye surgeon will use highly specialized lasers called excimer lasers to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors.
Femtosecond Lasers create the initial flap. These lasers are the pinnacle of laser technology development. This laser makes the flap to exact dimensions, helping it conform to your eye's unique anatomy and ensuring the flap fits back in place securely.
Wavefront-guided lasers are used during the LASIK procedure to allow surgeons to map defects in the eye's optical system. These devices show how light travels through the eye and help produce a custom LASIK treatment plan for each patient. A German Engineered Wavelight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q laser fixes visual imperfections in the eye. It is highly specialized and capable of preserving the natural curvature of the cornea, preventing unwanted side effects, including poor night vision or halos.
