Question:
Any opinion about Vision First Eye Care?
Answer:
Emory Laser Vision is the first Atlanta eye care center to offer the
ALLEGRETTO WAVE with PerfectPulse Technology(TM), the only FDA-approved
LASIK technology specifically built to address certain optical
distortions that are the chief cause of poor night time vision and
glare.
The ALLEGRETTO WAVE's PerfectPulse Technology automatically determines
each individual's unique pre-operative corneal curvature and provides a
treatment that not only corrects nearsightedness and farsightedness,
but also maintains the cornea's natural shape following treatment.
Unlike other conventional lasers that often provide an incomplete
treatment to the periphery of the cornea, PerfectPulse Technology
applies additional treatment to the outer part of the cornea to reduce
the likelihood of induced optical imperfections.
As a result, clinical studies submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in 2003 demonstrated that nearly 90 percent of
patients had no increase in glare, halos and light sensitivity, and 20
percent of patients actually reported improved night vision after
treatment with this laser system.
"Since we acquired the ALLEGRETTO WAVE, we are hearing things from
patients treated with the Allegretto that we didn't hear with previous
technologies. They are returning on the day after surgery saying that
their vision is better than they ever had with glasses or contact
lenses," said Dr. Doyle Stulting, MD, PhD, Medical Director at Emory
Laser Vision.
