Why did the Shealy Eye Laser Center acquire the Allegretto Wave Laser?
• Answer: After gaining experience with four excimer lasers, we noted that the Allegretto Wave Laser represented an improvement in our visual outcomes, with nearly 95% of our patients seeing 20/20 or better. We noticed an improvement in visual quality due to the maintenance of the natural curvature of the cornea. Treatment times are faster and more comfortable for our patients allowing minimal irritation post-operatively responsive to Motrin or Tylenol. In 2009, we perform Amoils advance surface treatment and SBK thin flap laser vision treatment and have noticed improved quality of our vision outcomes. Our patients are taking advantage of the high quality vision provided with advances in refractive lasers.
