When it come to investing in technology, cornea specialist and LASIK surgeon Dr. Nunnery, located in Charlotte, NC, leaves no stone unturned. He carefully evaluates new technological opportunities and wants to provide his patients with the best technology that is available and approved by the FDA.
That is why Providence Eye & Laser Specialists invested in the WaveLight EX500.
WaveLight was the first company to introduce high-speed laser vision correction in the United States. Now, the WaveLight EX500 takes the technology one step further with the fastest excimer laser system available today in the U.S. Thanks to the incredible power of the laser, many people can have their vision corrected in as little as 3-8 seconds, some even more quickly. At the same time, the WaveLight EX500 delivers superior results, with less risk of side effects.
PerfectPulse Technology™ ensures safe and precise work on your eyes. Each ultra-thin laser pulse is used to sculpt the corneal surface of the eye with the utmost accuracy. The high-speed eye tracker follows the eye’s fastest movements, checking the eye’s position 1000 times per second! This LASIK technology ensures accurate placement of each pulse on the cornea. In addition, an integrated cross-line projector provides the surgeon with an exact alignment of the eye’s position, making the EX500 one of the safest, most effective lasers currently available.
PerfectPulse Technology represents a unique approach to laser vision correction. It accounts for much of the precision and predictability of the EX500 laser and offers advantages over all other available lasers in the United States. High-speed eye tracking charts the eye’s movement 1000 times per second, so that the laser will not correct your vision until eye position is exact and perfectly aligned. As a result, every laser pulse is completely controlled, allowing for the most accurate level of correction possible.
With this speed you procedure can be completed in about the time it takes to pour a cup of coffee!
