Allegretto Wavetm

$Call Office Physician's Approach:
The ALLEGRETTO WAVE laser features a unique approach to corneal sculpting. The normal curve of a healthy cornea is higher in the center, or prolate. Most laser systems flatten the central area to create an oblate-shaped cornea. This shape causes spherical aberration, which can reduce the quality of vision, especially at night, and often produces glare or halos.
