What is the Allegretto Laser?
The Allegretto Laser is an FDA-approved laser system used to perform laser vision correction with the most advanced technology currently available. It is the first laser approved by the FDA to treat a wide range of nearsightedness and farsightedness, with or without astigmatism. This system corrects vision through a fast, accurate and safe procedure that leaves patients with vision that is 20/20 or better. Most patients who undergo LASIK using the Allegretto Laser do not experience night glare or halos, symptoms commonly associated with the LASIK procedure. This laser system uses a 0.9mm small-spot laser beam that transmits 200 pulses per second, more than any other laser currently available for the LASIK procedure. Correcting one diopter of vision takes just four seconds of treatment. The laser can also extend to treat an 8.0mm area, with a blend zone of 9.0mm, making it an ideal choice for patients with large pupils.
