Dr. Alan Faulkner sets himself apart from other laser vision correction surgeons in Hawaii by consistently being the first to utilize the latest and most revolutionary vision technologies for the benefit of his patients. As one of the first doctors – and at times, the only doctor – in Hawaii to use various laser technologies, Dr. Faulkner can offer his patients the advantages of choice, safety, and effectiveness before almost any other doctor on the Islands. As a testament to his confidence in the technologies he decides to use, Dr. Faulkner has undergone procedures to improve his own vision with some of the very same laser systems he offers his patients. To learn more about the advantages our various technologies provide, please contact Aloha Laser Vision today.
The WaveLight® ALLEGRETTO WAVE® EYE-Q is the fastest laser system available in the United States. While the previous ALLEGRETTO WAVE® system used by Dr. Alan Faulkner could operate at 200 Hz, the new ALLEGRETTO WAVE® EYE-Q doubles the speed to 400 Hz. The increased speed allows us to perform one diopter of correction in merely two seconds. Reducing treatment time allows for a LASIK procedure that is more comfortable than ever before. The 400 Hz EYE-Q laser is ideal for patients who suffer from high astigmatism, high myopia, and other aberrations that previously required an extensive amount of time to treat.
The WaveLight® ALLERGRETTO WAVE® EYE-Q is built in a way that integrates Wavefront Optimized™ technology from its initial construction, unlike other laser systems that retroactively implement wavefront principles. The EYE-Q utilizes the wavefront mapping system to give patients optimal vision while minimizing the risk of post-LASIK vision complications.
Dr. Faulkner chose to invest in the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® EYE-Q laser system before any other doctor because of his commitment to the latest technology and the safety and satisfaction of his patients. To learn more about this laser system, please schedule a private consultation with Dr. Faulkner by contacting our practice today.
Dr. Alan Faulkner was the first laser vision correction surgeon to bring the IntraLase® FS laser to Hawaii in December 2003. He has embraced this laser's revolutionary technology, and even underwent the LASIK procedure with the IntraLase Method™ himself. Other LASIK surgeons in Hawaii have only recently begun to offer the IntraLase Method™, nearly four years after Dr. Faulkner introduced it to the Islands, further cementing his reputation as a doctor who is consistently "ahead of the game" when it comes to offering the latest technologies.
The IntraLase® laser provides a unique degree of safety because of its micron-level precision. Clinical studies establishing the precision and accuracy of the IntraLase® FS laser have led researchers to proclaim IntraLase® technology as 100 times more accurate in creating the corneal flap (the first step of the LASIK procedure) than the traditional approach with a microkeratome blade. The statement is founded upon comparative studies that report the likelihood of inaccuracy with the mechanical device as compared to that of the IntraLase® FS laser.
This precision was also documented in studies conducted for the FDA clearance of the laser, where the accuracy of flap thickness was demonstrated at +/- 10 microns. Precise flap thickness is critical to a successful LASIK outcome, and this degree of accuracy is unprecedented in flap creation technology to date.
Finally, greater flap stability was also demonstrated with the IntraLase® laser in studies for the laser's FDA submission. The accuracy that the flap will be securely re-positioned without incident provides added peace of mind for many patients.
With NearVisionSM CK® (conductive keratoplasty®), Dr. Alan Faulkner can help patients achieve better focus on near objects without making any incisions. Instead, he uses controlled radio waves instead of a laser to reshape the cornea. The radio waves generate just enough heat on the surface of the cornea to shrink the corneal tissue, effectively reshaping the curvature of the eye and improving the eye's ability to focus.
Dr. Alan Faulkner is committed to providing the newest technologies and consistently achieving superior results; patients can trust him to offer the safest and most advanced treatment systems.
