Bringing Your World Into Focus

All LASIK vision correction surgery is not the same, so Dr. Elhosn and his refractive team have trained in a number of surgical procedures and LASIK vision correction procedures using various lasers. Our State of the art facility houses the all new FDA approved ALLEGRETTO WAVE®. Taking human sight beyond 20/20 is possible. The ALLEGRETTO WAVE® customizes every treatment to the patient's individual prescription and cornea while aiming to improve what nature originally designed. Wavefront Optimized™ treatment considers the unique curvature and biomechanics of the eye, preserving quality of vision and addressing the spherical distortions that can induce glare and night vision reduction.

Currently, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® is the fastest vision correction laser for LASIK available in the United States. At 200 laser bursts per second, many people can have their vision corrected in as little as eight seconds, some even more quickly. At the same time, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® delivers superior results, with less risk of side effects. Of course, spending less time under the laser means less stress and discomfort, and more time to get on with your life.
