With the introduction of AI-based ray-tracing LASIK in the specs removal sector, Wavelight Plus InnovEyes has set new benchmarks for vision correction. The surgery, being hailed as the “world’s most advanced LASIK”, provides exceptional visual clarity by correcting not just refractive errors but also higher-order aberrations or irregularities on the cornea (the clear, outer part of the eye).
But the question many specs-wearers have when they first visit us is, “Does Wavelight Plus InnovEyes treat high specs numbers?”
Read along to know the answer!
Wavelight Plus InnovEyes – Overview
Wavelight Plus InnovEyes is the latest innovation in specs removal. The surgery is a novel blend of AI-based planning and 3D ray-tracing technology. By mapping over 1 lakh points on an eye, the technology creates an EyeVatar or a Digital Eye Twin – a 3D map of each individual eye.
We say “individual eye” because the technology creates separate 3D models for both eyes of every patient. This is done because just like fingerprints, no two eyes are the same. They differ in their shape, size, surface, and refractive error.
Individual virtual models help determine the most precise laser application plan suited to each eye’s unique requirements. This is why the procedure is said to offer the highest level of personalisation for vision correction.
Once the EyeVatar has been created, the technology simulates different laser patterns on it to ascertain the best-suited surgical plan. Finally, only the plan that offers the best visual results is selected.
The surgery is completely bladeless and painless; the procedure does not require any injections or stitches and only takes 10-15 minutes in total. The procedure reshapes the cornea using the Wavelight EX500 Excimer Laser System. Most patients report 6/6 visual clarity or beyond in just 24-48 hours after the surgery.
Wavelight Plus InnovEyes for High Specs Power
Wavelight Plus InnovEyes can correct myopia (nearsightedness) up to -11 D and astigmatism (cylindrical power) up to -4.57 D. Myopic power above -6 D is generally considered high. This implies that the technology is safe & effective in correcting high refractive errors.
If you, too, have been wearing specs and contact lenses for years because you think your high refractive error cannot be corrected, we hope this blog can clear some things up for you.
If your refractive error falls within the above-mentioned range, you may be eligible to undergo Wavelight Plus InnovEyes!
*Note: Eligibility for the surgery is also influenced by other factors, like corneal thickness, refractive error stability, and overall eye health.
Wavelight Plus InnovEyes Eligibility
Eligibility criteria include:
- Must be 18 or older
- Stable specs power for at least a year
- No other eye conditions
- Good overall health
- Must not be pregnant or nursing
