St. John’s Clinic - Eye Specialists is the only eye center in Missouri to offer the Allegretto Wave® laser technology.

Delivering 200 laser pulses per second, the Allegretto Wave with PerfectPulse Technology™ reduces the fixation time of the patient under the laser and results in less dehydration of the cornea, which may positively impact post operative recovery and account for more precise outcomes.

Although laser vision correction has earned an excellent safety profile, many patients are concerned about the length of the procedure. The average treatment time is less than 12 seconds per eye – rather than 30 or even 60 seconds with competing technologies. Faster treatments are also safer for the patient because the procedure can be completed before the cornea becomes dehydrated.

The Allegretto Wave’s PerfectPulse Technology provides true customized procedures, unlike many eye lasers. The Allegretto automatically determines each individual’s unique pre-operative corneal curvature and provides a treatment that not only corrects nearsightedness and farsightedness, but also maintains the cornea’s natural shape following treatment.

Unlike other conventional lasers that can provide an incomplete treatment to the periphery of the cornea, PerfectPulse Technology applies additional treatment to the outer edges of the cornea to reduce the likelihood of induced optical imperfections. 

The increased precision of the laser not only cuts the procedure time, it also increases the accuracy to the point where enhancement procedures – additional touch up procedures – are nearly eliminated.
