What is Wavelight Plus?

Wavelight Plus is an advanced Laser Vision Correction procedure that employs cutting-edge ray-tracing technology to create a highly accurate, 3D digital twin of your eye. This technology enables us to develop a completely individualized treatment plan, providing exceptional clarity and vision quality beyond traditional LASIK procedures.

  • Incorporates detailed ocular surface irregularities into your surgical plan, providing optimal vision quality
  • 99% of patients said they would undergo Wavelight Plus again and would recommend the procedure to a friend or family member, highlighting the transformative impact and reliability of this advanced treatment

Does the Wavelight Plus procedure hurt?

No. The Wavelight Plus procedure is virtually painless. Before the procedure, your eyes are numbed with anesthetic eye drops, ensuring your comfort throughout treatment. Mild discomfort or irritation may occur briefly afterward but resolve quickly.

How long does the Wavelight Plus procedure take?

The entire Wavelight Plus procedure typically takes 15 to 20 minutes, with the actual laser treatment lasting just seconds per eye. You’ll be in and out of our office quickly, and your vision will improve immediately.

Can I drive home after the Wavelight Plus procedure?

You’ll need someone to drive you home after your treatment, as your eyes may feel sensitive and blurry initially. Most patients comfortably resume driving as soon as the following day.

Are the results from Wavelight Plus permanent?

Yes. Wavelight Plus permanently reshapes your cornea, providing lasting vision correction. However, age-related vision changes or other eye conditions can occur later in life, requiring additional treatments or adjustments.

What kind of vision can I expect immediately after the Wavelight Plus procedure?

You’ll notice improved vision immediately following the procedure, although slight blurriness or haziness may initially occur. Vision typically stabilizes and becomes clearer within a day or two, progressively improving over the following weeks.

Are there risks associated with Wavelight Plus?

Like any surgical procedure, Wavelight Plus carries minimal risks, including:

  • Temporary dryness
  • Glare
  • Halos
  • Fluctuations in vision
Serious complications are very rare, and our experienced ophthalmologists take meticulous precautions to ensure the safest possible outcomes.

When can I return to work and exercise after Wavelight Plus?

Most patients comfortably return to work and normal activities within one to two days. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or activities involving water exposure (swimming, hot tubs) for at least one week to allow your eyes to heal fully.
