The ALLEGRETTO WAVE system is the first new laser to receive approval in the United States since 1999. 

It is the fastest laser system in the United States today, using Perfect Pulse Technology to safely and accurately control every single laser pulse from start to finish. It represents a new generation of refractive technology conducting High Performance Vision Correction that patients can rely on night and day. 

The ALLEGRETTO WAVE EYE Q offers a customized treatment that incorporates wavefront principles to patients with nearsightedness & even farsightedness

Every procedure is tailored to the patients’ corneal curvature and refraction with the intention to preserve the natural aspheric cornea shape and to maintain or improve quality of vision and visual acuity.

Speed
The ALLEGRETTO WAVE EYE Q is today the fastest laser available to patients in the United States. In one second the system applies 400 fine laser pulses on the cornea. In fact, one diopter only takes 2.5 seconds to correct (at a 6.5mm true optical zone).

Eye Tracking
Such a high-speed laser must also have an ultra-fast eye tracking system to follow eye movement during the procedure. The ALLEGRETTO WAVE EYE Q captures the current position of the eye 400 times per second. It then only takes the laser a fraction of a second to reposition the laser putting it exactly into the desired location on the eye. Should the eye ever move too fast or out of range, the laser will automatically stop and wait until the eye is back in position. So you can simply relax, knowing that your eye is being followed at all times.  

PerfectPulse Technology means that every laser pulse is completely controlled as it is applied to the eye using intelligent pulse management.

This is critical as the ALLEGRETTO WAVE EYE Q operates at high speed with 400 laser pulses per second. Every laser pulse thinner than your fingernail in order to precisely sculpt the corneal surface. 

Therefore, PerfectPulse Technology uses advanced high speed eyetracking to follow the eye’s fastest movements and ensures accurate placement of every laser pulse. During the treatment the energy stability of every pulse is controlled with a smart energy control program. This program automatically balances the energy levels during the treatment to ensure that every laser pulse creates the same result.
