In short, Wavelight Plus InnovEyes corrects your vision by building a virtual 3D model of your eye (digital eye twin) with the use of AI. Multiple laser patterns are simulated on the model to ascertain the best-suited surgical plan for your unique visual needs. The 100% personalised approach of this technology has even resulted in vision better than 6/6 for many patients (via Alcon[1]).
The unique artificial intelligence surgical planning software is precisely why the surgery has positioned itself as the most advanced LASIK vision correction treatment in 2026. The surgery corrects refractive errors like myopia or nearsightedness (up to -11D) and astigmatism or cylindrical eye power (up to -4.57 D). Read along to know more about how Wavelight Plus InnovEyes really works to provide vision beyond 6/6.
Wavelight Plus InnovEyes Workflow Explained
Optical Measurements
The very first step in the Wavelight Plus InnovEyes workflow involves detailed optical measurements. Through the advanced eye mapping technology, it maps over 1 lakh data points on the eye. This provides precise information about the axial length, ocular wavefront, biometry, lens surface, lens position, and corneal surface, etc.
Digital Eye Twin or Eyevatar
After measuring 1,00,000+ points and collecting accurate measurements for the complete eye, the AI software creates a virtual 3D model of each individual eye. This virtual model is also known as an Eyevatar or a Digital Eye Twin. It is essentially a virtual replica of your eye.
AI-Based Surgical Planning
The AI software then tests multiple laser patterns on the Digital Eye Twin before the actual surgery. After every laser pattern application, the expected results are recorded and evaluated for the extent of clear vision provided by specific patterns. Finally, the laser pattern that provides the best visual outcomes is selected for the actual surgery.
Laser Application
During the actual procedure, the selected laser pattern is applied to the cornea. A corneal flap is created and placed on the side so the Alcon Waveight Plus EX500 excimer laser can reshape the cornea. Once the cornea has been reshaped via laser application, the flap is placed back in its original position. The flap does not require any stitches as it heals on its own in a few days. The surgery is 100% painless as numbing eye drops are administered before the procedure begins. It is also a bladeless procedure, as the flap is created through the use of a femtosecond laser (not a mechanical blade), eliminating the scope of human error.
Why Choose Wavelight Plus InnovEyes?
Wavelight Plus InnovEyes is the latest, safest, and most advanced vision correction treatment in 2026. The surgery is bladeless, painless, and completely personalised to fit your unique visual needs. Along with correcting refractive errors, the technology also corrects higher-order aberrations (irregularities) on & beyond the cornea. This results in enhanced night vision, no halos, glare, streaks, starbursts, etc.
The best part? You won’t even need to be admitted to the hospital, as it is a 10-15 minute procedure, followed by a quick post-op monitoring, so you can go home the same day as your surgery! Not just that, the procedure is also approved by the US-FDA. It has passed several levels of safety tests, only receiving the seal of approval once it met global safety standards.
Sohana Hospital is currently the 1st & ONLY hospital in the tricity (Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula) region to have Wavelight Plus InnovEyes. A team of expert eye specialists in Chandigarh, state-of-the-art equipment, and strict hygiene protocols ensure your experience is safe and hassle-free.
Last but not least, if a tight budget is the only reason you’ve been delaying specs removal treatment, we’ve got good news. Sohana Hospital offers easy, no-cost EMI plans that let you get HD vision without stressing about burning a hole in your pocket.
