What are the characteristics of the Allegretto Wave Laser and how does it produce high performance vision?
• Answer: The Allegretto Wave Laser represents flying spot, the latest advance in small beam laser technology. The energy level can be measured at three points within the laser beam path due to it’s small spot size. Each spot is half overlapped nine treatment pulses later. This is necessary to provide a clean path for each overlapped ablation spot without interference of the plume emanating from the first pulse. The pattern of pulse placement has a repetition rate of 200 to 400 Hz so that tracking pattern is changed 6,000 times each second, thus providing a very smooth ablation profile resulting in a crisper, less scattered focal point.
