Alcon WaveLight® EX500
The Alcon WaveLight® EX500 cutting edge technology for LASIK & PRK and is the fastest excimer laser available, operating at an impressive 500 Hz with PerfectPulse Technology™. This advanced system ensures precise control over laser energy delivery, minimizing thermal impact by allowing significant cooling periods between pulses. This means each treated area cools efficiently, maintaining a pace of 1.4 seconds per diopter for optimal safety and effectiveness.
Unique in its approach, the WaveLight® EX500 is the sole excimer laser that incorporates Wavefront Optimize® technology to preserve the cornea’s natural curvature post-treatment, supporting better overall visual outcomes.
Building on this foundation, the WaveLight® PLUS Ray-Tracing platform introduces the newest level of customization and precision. Contoura® Vision, a topography-guided treatment that maps and corrects corneal irregularities, also remains available as another highly detailed treatment option within our suite of technologies. Contoura® Vision, a topography-guided vision correction that meticulously maps the cornea’s surface to correct imperfections in curvature based on individual refraction.
WaveLight® PLUS Ray-Tracing
The WaveLight® Plus Ray-tracing device represents the newest generation of Alcon’s industry-leading laser technology—and Skyline LASIK is the first in Colorado to bring it to patients. This innovative device builds upon the proven performance of the WaveLight® EX500 to deliver faster, more precise treatments with enhanced customization. WaveLight® PLUS technology integrates advanced eye-tracking and optimized ablation profiles to produce even smoother results, improved night vision, and exceptional accuracy for each unique corneal surface.
Sightmap™ Diagnostic Device
Empowering our LASIK treatments with unparalleled precision, the Sightmap™ diagnostic device captures a highly detailed, 360-degree analysis of your cornea. This next-generation platform compiles extensive corneal data to form the foundation of your personalized treatment plan. With advanced measurements that help identify the exact optical zone you primarily look through, Sightmap™ allows us to place your treatment with ultimate precision, optimizing your visual outcomes for a clearer, more vibrant world.
Contoura® Vision & Wavefront Optimized® Treatments
While our newest technologies—including Sightmap™ diagnostics and WaveLight® PLUS Ray-Tracing—guide our most advanced treatment planning, we continue to offer both Contoura® Vision and Wavefront Optimized® treatments when appropriate. These proven approaches remain valuable tools for addressing specific corneal characteristics and tailoring care to individual needs.
WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond Laser
Setting the standard for precision and efficiency, the Alcon WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond Laser operates with groundbreaking speed at 200 Hz, empowered by PerfectPulse Technology™. This technology meticulously controls every laser pulse, ensuring each is delivered with optimal accuracy, safety, and speed. The result is the creation of LASIK flaps that are remarkably consistent in shape, thickness, and hinge position, all crafted in under 10 seconds. This level of predictability and efficiency in flap creation not only enhances the safety and outcomes of the LASIK procedure but also significantly improves the patient’s experience by minimizing procedure time.
