LASIKPro Laser Eye Center Brings Fastest and Most Advanced Eye Tracking Technology for Better Results to Charlottesville


LASIKPro Laser Eye Center in Charlottesville is now utilizing the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Laser that has the fastest and most advanced eye tracking technology available for better results. LASIKPro is the only laser center to offer this technology in Charlottesville.

Charlottesville, Virginia (PRWEB) December 20, 2010 –LASIKPro Laser Eye Center now utilizes the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Laser that has the fastest and most advanced eye tracking technology available for better results and the highest approval ratings.

L. Edward Perraut, Jr., M.D., owner and head LASIK surgeon at LASIKPro, left the TLC Laser Eye Center in Charlottesville in order to start his own practice: LASIKPro. He has practiced laser vision correction in Charlottesville for the past 12 years and will continue to perform LASIK in Charlottesville. Dr. Perraut also uses this same state-of-the-art laser in his other LASIKPro center in Frederick, MD.

The Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Laser is one of the newest, most advanced lasers on the market and is the first laser system to receive approval for the treatment of both nearsightedness and farsightedness. It can also treat a wider range of patient prescriptions than any other laser and has unparalleled customization abilities. The laser is part of the “WaveFront Optimized” system that not only corrects a patient’s vision, but also possesses a unique eye-tracking system that is able to adjust to the position of the patient’s eye at any given time.

The advanced eye-tracking technology moves faster than a patient’s eye, so if the patient’s eye moves during the vision correction process, the laser stops and waits for the eye to move back into position before proceeding. This allows it to be the fastest laser on the market while maintaining extreme precision and safety. Its unmatched speed, safety and precision have earned this laser the highest approval ratings.

Dr. Perraut is a highly experienced LASIK surgeon having performed more than 45,000 procedures, ranking him in the top 5% of LASIK surgeons nationwide. He has been performing laser vision correction in Charlottesville for the past 12 years and continues his service in the area by opening LASIKPro.

LASIKPro is located at 1100 East High St., Suite 1A, Charlottesville, VA 22902. For more information about LASIKPro or to schedule a FREE LASIK consultation, visit the website at www.thelasikpro.com or call (434) 566-0108.

Arrianna Nichols Gets LASIK Surgery from Dr. Perraut

Arrianna Nichols, Morning DJ from 106.9 the Eagle in Frederick, MD, got Lasik Surgery from Dr. Perraut earlier this week. Now she's seeing better than 20/20!

More about how the LASIK Pro gave Arrianna Nichols freedom from glasses and contacts.

Our Advanced Technology

When Dr. Perraut created LASIKPro Laser Eye Center, he wanted to make the absolute best LASIK technology readily available for his patients. So that’s exactly what he did. LASIKPro is the only laser center to have its own Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Excimer Laser and Pentacam Comprehensive Eye Scanner on-site in Charlottesville and Frederick so patients don’t have to leave the area for customized and convenient care. 

The Pentacam Comprehensive Eye Scanner

The Pentacam Comprehensive Eye Scanner provides more precise measurements of the central cornea than any other ocular measurement instrument currently available. This scanner photographs and maps both the front and back of the eye and all surfaces of the cornea to help create completely customized laser vision correction.

The Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Excimer Laser

The Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q excimer laser delivers the fastest laser vision correction procedures available in the U.S., while ensuring safety, precision, range and overall patient comfort. All of these factors combined have helped this laser to receive higher approval ratings than any other laser in its class.

Speed

With a 400 hertz repetition rate, the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q makes the laser vision correction procedure faster than ever.  This reduction in treatment time helps provide a shorter and more comfortable procedure for the patient. And because the eye begins recovery as soon as the procedure ends, this also means a speedier recovery.

Precision & Safety

This laser utilizes PerfectPulse Technology® that makes sure every laser pulse is completely controlled from its generation to the point when it contacts the cornea. This technology ensures maximum safety and precision while still working at a high speed.

Range

The Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Excimer Laser can treat a wider range of patient prescriptions than any other laser. This allows more patients than ever to experience the amazing, life-changing results of laser vision correction.

How LASIK Works

A lot of people have questions about LASIK surgery.  It may seem like a very mysterious process.  In fact, LASIK is a short and easy procedure that leaves you with clear vision and no need to bother with glasses or contact ever again!


The acronym LASIK stands for Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis.  This type of eye surgery is the most popular and successful vision correction procedure in the world. It is a permanent procedure used to improve a person’s vision quality and eliminate his or her dependence on glasses or contact lenses.  


LASIK is a fast, outpatient procedure performed while you are awake and lying flat on a surgical laserbed. At LASIKPro, before the procedure begins you will be offered a mild sedative and special anesthetic drops will be added to numb the eyes and ensure comfort.


There are three steps to the LASIK process:


Step 1: Your eye will be gently immobilized so there will be no movement during the procedure. Next, a very thin flap is created to expose the underlying cornea, and is carefully lifted like the page of a book.

Step 2: Using a cool-beam excimer laser that has been individually programmed and double-verified with your exact eye measurements and an electronic mapping of your eye, your cornea is reshaped to optimize vision.

Step 3: The flap is then replaced, and immediately begins healing itself! The entire procedure can be completed in a matter of minutes.


Don't let the talk of lasers scare you, Meta-analysis done in March 2008 by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery revealed a 95.4 percent patient satisfaction rate among LASIK patients worldwide.  Think about it, if you only buy a new pair of glasses every other year, you're likely to spend $200 on a decent pair of glasses. If you do that from age 15 to 55, you will have spent $4,000!


At The LASIKPro Laser Eye Center we treat you like family.  You can trust us to make you see 20/20- or even better- 20/Happy.
