Built for Speed and Superb Outcomes
The WaveLight® Refractive Suite is the fastest refractive surgery platform available in the U.S.:
• The WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser is the only excimer laser to operate at 500 Hz, with an average treatment time of approximately 1.4 seconds per diopter1
• The WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond Laser is the fastest femtosecond laser available in the U.S., with a standard flap creation time of approximately 6 seconds1,2
• The swivel bed is designed to optimize time between the flap creation and laser procedures.
Its innovative engineering helps reduce the potential for3:
• Stromal dehydration of the cornea
• Flap shrinkage
• Sensitivity to eye movements
• Patient fixation fatigue
Customized LASIK for Every Eye
The built-in flexibility of the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser allows surgeons to expand their refractive treatment capabilities:
• Wavefront Optimized® and Wavefront-Guided treatments
• Customized pupil-center centration options among different lighting conditions
• Line of sight and corneal vertex centration
Precisely Focused on Accuracy
With a powerful 1050 Hz-type multi-dimensional eye tracker, synchronized at 500 Hz, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser offers safety and exceptional precision:
• Movement tracking with just 2 milliseconds of latency
• Dynamic pupil tracking from 1.5 mm to 8.0 mm
Optimized Shot Distribution
Utilizing proprietary PerfectPulse Technology®, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser maintains a high pulse frequency with a minimized thermal load4,1:
• Only 1 pulse in 5 is allowed to overlap
• Optimizes temporal and spatial shot distribution5
• Additional pulses are sent to the periphery to compensate for energy loss
• Reduces the potential for nighttime glare6
Designed with Efficiency in Mind
The WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser workstation has been ergonomically designed to provide enhanced information and usability throughout the refractive procedure:
• Integrated heads-up display
• Fiber slit projector with LED light source
• Increased working distance of 25 cm
• Standard, high-resolution video system
• Built-in, non-contact, online pachymetry
The Cutting Edge of Laser Technology
Featuring enhanced beam path technologies, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser sets the standard for laser precision and durability:
• Completely sealed beam path
• Continuous nitrogen-flushed beam path
• Onboard nitrogen generator
• Long laser head life expectancy
