What is WaveLight Plus?

Improvements in laser eye surgery procedures have given patients more individualized options for their unique demands in the rapidly changing field of vision correction. One of the well-known choices in today’s scenario is Wavelight Plus InnovEyes. This procedure aims to correct refractive errors. It is a significantly advanced technology that results in high precision, less recovery time, and excellent patient outcomes.

An advanced innovative refractive surgery called WaveLight Plus aids in the treatment of common visual problems such astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. Advanced laser technology is used to reshape the cornea, altering how light enters the eye and improving focus and clarity. As a result, the need for glasses and contact lenses is reduced or eliminated, and patients receive long-lasting and customized solutions for their visual problems.

Using the latest wavefront-guided laser systems, Wavelight Plus InnovEyes provides a novel and highly accurate type of laser eye surgery. It treats more than just refractive error; it also addresses specific imperfections in the eye’s optical system. It’s a personalized approach that improves eyesight clarity above and beyond what is possible with conventional LASIK.

Key characteristics of Wavelight Plus InnovEyes include:

  • Advanced wavefront-guided diagnostics assist in personalising the treatment
  • Takes the patient’s eyes’ unique corneal curvature and optical imperfections into consideration
  • Minimizes post-surgical complications like glare and halos

  • up to +6.00 diopters of hyperopia
  • up to 6 diopters of cylinder/astigmatism
  • up to -12.00 diopters of nearsightedness
  • Age: 18 years or older

  • Excessively thin or malformed cornea
  • Serious eye illnesses such as glaucoma or corneal scarring

Preparation for WaveLight Plus

  • The new Sightmap device is the central component of the Wavelight Plus system. 
  • A Scheimpflug corneal tomographer, a Hartman-Schack wavefront aberrometer, and an interferometry-based biometer are all included in this three-in-one device.
  • Software is then used to create a comprehensive, personalized model eye that digitally replicates the patient’s actual eye using the diagnostic data the device has acquired.
  • It comprises the length of the eye, the front and rear surfaces of the cornea, and the contours and position of the lens. 
  • The system may anticipate how changes in corneal shape will impact vision by modeling the way light moves through and interacts with each of these components. 
  • Complex calculations are made to create a highly customised ablation profile that is completely tailored to every eye’s unique ocular characteristics.
  • Your eye surgeon might also suggest that you cease taking any medications that raise the possibility of bleeding during the procedure. 
  • One or two days prior to the procedure, an antibiotic eye drop might be given.
  •  You’ll be told to fast for 3 hours prior to the procedure.

Procedure for WaveLight Plus

  • The eye surgeon uses a specialized laser to reshape your cornea according to your recent detailed eye map in order to improve your vision and correct refractive errors.
  • The whole procedure is generally completed within 30-60 minutes.

Post-Procedural Care for WaveLight Plus

  • Right after the surgery, you may experience eye irritation or blurred vision for a while. A bandage contact lens will be used to safeguard your eyes.

  • Most people return home within an hour following surgery.
  • Within a few days of surgery, your eyesight should begin to improve.

Faq

No, the procedure is virtually painless. Numbing eye drops are used, and patients may feel mild discomfort or pressure during the surgery, which lasts only a few minutes.

For most patients, the results are long-lasting. However, natural age-related vision changes, like presbyopia, may require reading glasses later in life.

Temporary side effects may include dry eyes, light sensitivity, or halos around lights, which usually resolve within a few weeks.

The cost varies based on location, clinic, and individual eye conditions, but it remains an affordable and high-quality option compared to international standards.

 Most patients experience clearer vision within 24 hours and can resume daily activities within a day or two, with full recovery in a few weeks.
