If you’re looking to get rid of your specs permanently, we might have the perfect solution for you! Wavelight Plus InnovEyes is the world’s most advanced AI + ray-tracing LASIK technology, made available in Tricity for the first time by Sohana Eye Hospital. 

If you want permanent results suited to your unique optical measurements, this might be the best option for you. But before you jump into big decisions – we’re here to give you all the essential information about Wavelight Plus InnovEyes.

In this blog, we will discuss what Wavelight Plus InnovEyes is, how it works to give the most accurate results, its features, and eligibility criteria. By the end of the blog, you’ll have all the answers to why you should pick Wavelight Plus InnovEyes over traditional LASIK.

What is Wavelight Plus InnovEyes?

Wavelight Plus InnovEyes is the world’s only specs removal technology that combines the benefits of an AI-based planning software, 3D ray-tracing technology, and an excimer laser system. Known for its accuracy and precision, Wavelight Plus InnovEyes delivers a completely personalised plan designed by mapping every patient’s unique eye.

Here’s a brief guide on how Wavelight Plus InnovEyes works:

  • Eye-mapping or Creating a Digital Eye Twin: InnovEyes uses advanced eye-mapping technology to scan 100,000+ data points on your eye to create a 3D digital map of your eye. This Digital Eye Twin measures every optical feature – the eye length (axial length), anterior and posterior corneal data, lens position, ocular wavefront (for aberrations or irregularities on the whole eye), and the lens surface. These measurements are unique to each eye.
  • AI-based Treatment Planning: Using the digital map of your eye, the software develops a vision correction plan suited to your eye’s exact needs. The software then runs a simulation of 2000+ rays through the eye’s optical system to foresee your vision after the procedure — until it achieves perfect results. This virtual surgery is simulated before the actual surgery to ensure the highest standard of accuracy and precision.
  • Laser Correction: During the actual surgery, the ray-tracing Wavelight EX500 excimer laser reshapes the cornea with ultra-fast, real-time tracking systems that account for even the smallest eye movements. Along with correcting refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness)  (up to -11D) and astigmatism (up to -4.57D), the laser also corrects the smallest of aberrations or irregularities on the cornea as well as the whole eye.
  • Corneal Healing Prediction Algorithm: The software also features an advanced corneal healing prediction algorithm, which forecasts how your cornea will heal. This helps ensure the procedure is highly precise and efficient.

By combining a digital map of your eye, AI-integrated planning, and advanced laser delivery, InnovEyes makes sure each eye receives the most personalised, precise, and safe treatment.
