What Makes WaveLight^® PLUS Different?

Traditional LASIK is highly effective, but it relies on standard measurements of the eye’s surface. WaveLight^® PLUS is different. It uses 3D Ray Tracing Technology to construct a detailed digital twin of your eye. This high-definition model guides the treatment with microscopic accuracy—factoring in not only your prescription but also subtle imperfections and variations across your eye’s optical system.

This advanced process is divided into three powerful steps:

1. Measure

The system collects three types of measurements using a single diagnostic device, creating a high-resolution map of your eye. This data includes:

Wavefront analysis of light as it travels through the eye
Corneal shape and thickness
Axial length and other anatomical landmarks

2. Personalize

Using advanced ray tracing algorithms powered by an advanced technology known as InnoVeyes^™, your eye’s digital twin is iteratively refined until the ideal ablation profile can be achieved. This can ensure that every pulse of the laser is placed exactly where it should be, accounting for the eye’s natural biomechanics and healing tendencies.

3. Deliver

Once the optimal treatment plan is established, the laser system is able to execute it with unmatched precision. The potential result? Exceptional clarity and contrast, and the possibility of seeing better than you ever could with glasses or contacts.

What Are the Benefits of WaveLight^® PLUS LASIK?

WaveLight^® PLUS LASIK represents a significant advancement in personalized eye care. This next-generation technology offers numerous advantages for patients seeking sharper, more refined vision:

Ultra-Personalized Vision Correction
WaveLight^® PLUS uses 3D ray tracing to create a detailed model of your eye, allowing treatment to be customized down to the smallest anatomical detail—not just based on your prescription.
Beyond 20/20 Vision Potential
Many patients achieve visual results that exceed standard 20/20 vision, with a high percentage reaching 20/16 or even 20/12.5 clarity.¹
Single-Device Diagnostic Convenience
The entire mapping and measurement process is completed using one sophisticated device, streamlining your experience and improving precision.
Enhanced Accuracy and Consistency
By simulating how light actually travels through your unique eye structure, the system can ensure every laser pulse is delivered with remarkable accuracy.
Reduced Risk of Visual Aberrations
The personalized treatment helps minimize side effects like glare, halos, and reduced night vision.
Adaptive to Your Eye’s Natural Healing
The technology includes a pre-compensation algorithm that factors in how your cornea is likely to heal, which can result in more stable and predictable outcomes.
More Comfortable and Efficient Procedure
The system’s high-speed laser and precise control contribute to a fast, more comfortable experience with minimal downtime.
High Satisfaction & Recommendation Rates
Studies show that nearly all WaveLight^® PLUS patients would recommend the procedure and choose to undergo it again.²*

Can I Achieve Better Than 20/20 Vision?

WaveLight^® PLUS LASIK is designed to push the limits of what laser vision correction can achieve. In real-world practice settings, outcomes have shown:

98% of patients reached 20/20 vision or better
83% of patients saw 20/16 or better
45% achieved 20/12.5 clarity—well beyond standard visual acuity

What could this mean for you? Sharper vision. Better contrast. Less dependence on glasses—and greater confidence in everything you do.

Are You a Candidate for WaveLight^® PLUS?

You may be a candidate if:

You’re 18 or older
Your vision prescription has been stable for at least one year
You have myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism
You are in good overall eye health

Not sure if you qualify? Our team can perform a thorough screening using the WaveLight^® PLUS diagnostic platform to determine whether this technology is right for you.
