Activity Outline
Wavelight plus (Ray Trace Technology) - The new Wavelight Plus (Ray Trace Technology) technology was first trialled 3 years ago at 5 sites around the world. PersonalEYES is proud to be the only Australian site to participate in the study. This technology has revolutionised how we approached laser eye treatment.
What is Wavelight Plus -The technology provides a treatment based on the individual's eye rather than the prescription glasses they wear. In the past, treatments were the same between individuals if they wore the same glasses.
In this advanced diagnostic technology, 500 beams of light are directed at the eye, and the reflected light is measured and collected with microscopic precision of 1/100,000 of a millimetre to generate a personalised treatment plan.
The technology also measures all the components of the eye such as the length and curvature. Knowing the shape of the eye and how it processes the 500 beams of light, an Eyevatar of the eye can be created.
