Allegretto Wavelight Custom LASIK

Dr Pamela was one of the first New York LASIK surgeons to adopt the latest technology in custom LASIK surgery, the Allegretto laser WaveLight. Pride completes its refractive surgery procedures at its New York City offices using this laser, a revolutionary tool in laser vision correction. At present, the fastest correction in the U.S., WaveLight Allegretto is secure, accurate, and has most of its patients better vision of 20/20.

The highly controlled and precise Allegretto WaveLight is ideal for operations usual. The Allegretto WaveLight is calibrated specifically to their needs, ensuring the proper level of energy is used to achieve a more natural round and the corneal surface during the proceedings.

The Allegretto WaveLight also constantly monitors the position of the eyeball. Measure the location of four to six thousandths of a second, automatically adjusting its internal mirrors. A second attitude control is done only to ensure that has not changed its position. If it moves out of position or moves too fast to be tracked, the Allegretto WaveLight will stop. It is not going to release a pulse until it has returned to its original position.
