WaveLight Ex500 Excimer Laser

The WaveLight Ex500 has unique advantages as a platform:


The World’s Fastest Excimer Laser which minimizes dehydration of the corneal bed to increase treatment outcome accuracy. That means better vision.


The fastest Eye Tracker available, moving 10 times faster than the eye is capable of to ensure the laser correction is always placed where it should be.


 

Speed

SpeedEach “burst” of the Alcon EX 500 Laser lasts mere billionths of a second before the laser shifts to its next position-up to 100 times faster than some lasers.


Precision

 

Simplicity

SimplicityThe Alcon EX 500 Laser’s integrated cross-line projector provides the surgeon with an exact alignment of the head’s and eye’s position by generating a red-light cross on the eye for accuracy.

 

Personalized Procedure

Using advanced Wavefront Optimized ® technology, the Alcon EX 500 Laser creates a “map” of your eyes and their unique characteristics to assist your surgeon in creating a personal vision profile for you. This map serves as a guide that helps doctors locate the eye’s exact treatment position, which is one of the most important factors in obtaining a more naturally shaped cornea and therefore an excellent refractive outcome, especially when correcting eyes with high astigmatism.
