- Total personalization maximizing your quality of vision
How It Works
WaveLight® Plus LASIK uses three key innovations:
One Comprehensive Scan
Our advanced diagnostic platform collects three types of precise measurements all in one session.
3D Ray-Tracing
This scan builds a digital 3D model (or “digital twin”) of your eye, accounting for your unique curvature and optical irregularities.
Personalized Laser Treatment
Your treatment plan is crafted for your specific vision needs and applied with advanced WaveLight® EX500 laser technology for optimal precision.
The result? Smoother treatments, faster recovery, and exceptional vision outcomes.
How is wavelight plus different than other refractive treatments?
First, three types of detailed measurements are taken all on one device.1,9
Then, a digital twin eye model is created and tested until the optimal treatment for your best vision is determined.
Finally, a fully personalized treatment is applied for the unique needs of your eye, delivering excellent outcomes.1,2

WaveLight Plus is a next-generation LASIK technology that creates a 3D digital model of your eye to deliver a highly personalized vision correction treatment.
WaveLight Plus uses ray-tracing technology to map the entire eye—not just the cornea, allowing for more precise and customized treatment than standard LASIK.
It is typically used to correct:
- Nearsightedness (myopia)
- Astigmatism
- (Sometimes) other visual irregularities
Most candidates:
- Are 18+
- Have a stable prescription
- Have healthy eyes
However, certain conditions (like severe dry eye or thin corneas) may disqualify you.
It creates a “digital twin” of your eye using over 100,000 data points, allowing surgeons to simulate and optimize your treatment before surgery.
Yes—because it analyzes the entire optical system, it may help reduce nighttime visual disturbances like halos and glare compared to older LASIK methods.
Many patients achieve:
- 20/20 vision or better
- Some even achieve better-than-20/20 vision
- Detailed eye mapping is performed
- A personalized treatment plan is created
- The laser procedure typically takes just minutes per eye
The laser portion takes about 10 minutes, and the total visit is around 90 minutes.
Patients may feel mild pressure during the procedure, but it is generally quick and well-tolerated.
- Vision often improves within 24 hours
- Full results continue improving over weeks
Most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 days, with some precautions during healing.
No—LASIK is usually considered elective, but:
- FSA/HSA can often be used
- Financing options may be available
Yes—WaveLight Plus is FDA-approved and builds on decades of LASIK safety and research.
It may be worth it if you want:
- More personalized results
- Better night vision performance
- The latest technology available
Like any LASIK procedure, possible side effects may include:
- Dry eyes
- Temporary irritation
- Light sensitivity
(Your doctor will review risks during consultation.)

Important Product Information – WaveLight® Plus laser systems
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS: The WaveLight® Plus laser systems is a non-contact ophthalmic diagnostic device designed to capture Scheimpflug images of the anterior segment of the eye, which includes the cornea, pupil, anterior chamber, and lens of the eye. Furthermore, it provides the axial dimensions of the eye using the technology of coherence interferometry. It can also measure the optical aberrations of the eye by applying Hartman-Shack wavefront technology.
INDICATION: The WaveLight® Plus laser systems is indicated for screening and diagnosis of adult patients who may undergo a customized photorefractive treatment with the WaveLight® Plus laser systems.
The WaveLight EX500 laser system in conjunction with WaveLight® Plus Sightmap is indicated for use in INNOVEYES Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis (“wavelight plus”1 LASIK) treatments:
- for the reduction or elimination of myopia or myopia with astigmatism, in eyes with spherical equivalent (SE) more than -1.00 and up to – 9.00 diopters (D), with up to – 8.00 D of spherical component (in minus cylinder format) and up to – 3.00 D of astigmatic component at the spectacle plane, based on the INNOVEYES Sightmap Measured Refraction;
- in patients with magnitude of the spherical equivalent (SE) difference between the Manifest Refraction (MRSE) and the Sightmap measured refraction SE being less than 0.75 D;
- in patients who are 18 years of age or older, and;
- for patients with documentation of a stable manifest refraction defined as ≤ 0.5 D preoperative spherical equivalent shift over one year prior to surgery
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
If you have any of the following situations or conditions, it is not recommended to have an examination with the WaveLight® Plus laser systems.
- Patients with open wounds and sores getting in contact with the head rest must not be examined
There are no other known contraindications to the use of the WaveLight® Plus laser systems when used according to its approved indications.
TARGET PATIENT POPULATION: The targeted patient population are patients which are selected for ophthalmic diagnosis consistent with the indications for use of the WaveLight® Plus laser systems.
INTENDED USERS: The WaveLight® Plus laser systems may only be used by specially trained physicians, medical staff and optometrists who are well versed in its diagnostic abilities and possible dangers.
WARNINGS / PRECAUTIONS:
- Contact lens wearers must discontinue wearing hard or gas permeable lenses for at least 3 weeks and soft lenses for at least 1 week prior to examination
- The examination takes place in a darkened room or with the help of a dark cloth covering the WaveLight® Plus laser systems and the patient’s head
- The patient must be able to sit in an upright and comfortable position
- The patient must be able to fixate steadily
- Patients should not wear makeup at the day of examination
- Avoid using eye-drops before examination. It may impact the diagnostic results and should be reported to the surgeon
- Taking medication with influence on the hormonal balance can affect the consistency of the cornea
- Results may be influenced by pregnancy and nursing. Hormonal changes can affect the consistency of the cornea
- This device can cause flammable materials to ignite or explode
- Use of the controls or adjustments or performance procedures other than those specified in the user manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure
MODE OF ACTION:
The mode of action of the WaveLight® Plus laser systems is through the screening and diagnosis of anterior segment of the eye for planning custom refractive surgery treatments with the intent of improving vision.
STORAGE CONDITIONS:
Store at -10-55°C (14-131°F).
