Success Story

The Alcon ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Excimer Laser was introduced in 1999 and has since become world-renowned.

Prof. Theo Seiler and his team performed the first global Wavefront-guided LASIK treatment on this platform. The system soon found strong acceptance, specifically in central Europe, the Middle East and Asia. In 2000, the FDA clinical trials for Wavefront Optimized® LASIK were initiated with 11 clinical sites in the United States. Only three years later, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Excimer Laser became the first system to receive concurrent approval for myopia and hyperopia along with the widest range of approvals ever granted to a new laser platform.

Based on refractive business reports, the Alcon ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Excimer Laser is the fastest selling laser system in the world. Multiple physicians have chosen the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Excimer Laser as their refractive workstation of choice, and there is a clear reason why.
