What type of lasers are used during LASIK?

After taking hundreds of precise measuremen­ts and determinin­g the ideal course of treatment, the Mann Eye team utilizes the most advanced FDAapprove­d laser system in the nation.

Our laser system employs a combinatio­n of the WaveLight FS 200 and the Allegretto Wave Eye-Q lasers. The WaveLight FS 200 is used to create the corneal flap during step one of the procedure. By using this laser, our surgeons have greatly reduced the treatment time of LASIK eye surgery while maintainin­g accuracy, with the average being only 6 seconds. Additional­ly, the WaveLight FS 200 allows more customizat­ion to create a unique treatment plan for each patient.

After the creation of the corneal flap, the Allegretto Wave Eye-Q excimer laser is used to gently alter the surface of the eye according to the measuremen­ts taken prior to surgery. This advanced laser not only corrects a patient’s prescripti­on but it also aims to improve the “quality” of vision as well. The Allegretto Wave Eye-Q uses eye tracking technology to monitor and adjust to changes in pupil size during surgery to offer patients optimal results, further reducing the time of surgery. By utilizing the WaveLight FS 200 and the Allegretto Wave Eye-Q, Mann Eye can create a custom blade-free LASIK procedure tailored to every individual patient.
