Keeping up with the latest technology for laser vision correction assures that you will have the most comfortable, efficient and safest vision correction available today. At Gailey Eye Clinic, our physicians are trained to use these new technologies, brining safer, faster, and more advanced options to all of our patients.

The Allegretto Wave Eye-Q is a revolutionary new technology that offers superior result to older excimer lasers. Customized to the unique curvature and biomechanics of your eye, Allegretto Wave Eye-Q is able to correct vision beyond 20/20; taking your eyesight to new levels, never before imagined. With PerfectPulse® Technology, the eye’s position is checked 400 times per second to ensure accurate placement of each laser pulse to the cornea. The result? According the Food and Drug Administration:

• After one year, 93% of all patients said they saw better than they had with glasses or contacts
• Over 98% of patients achieved eyesight of 20/40 within the first year
• Almost 60% of near-sighted patients achieved 20/16 vision within the first year
• Near and farsighted patients reported reduced glare and increased ease with night driving

Allegretto Wave Eye-Q is suited to more people than LASIK, but may not be right for everyone. The experienced staff at Gailey Eye Clinic will work closely with you to see if you are an ideal candidate.

The human eye is one of the most complex structures found in the body. Your eye is comprised of several parts, but we are primarily concerned here with the cornea, iris, lens, vitreous humor, retina, rods and cones, and optical nerve.

Light is focused through the cornea, the transparent structure at the front of the eye. From there, the iris, a ring shaped membrane with an adjustable opening, expands or contracts to adjust to the amount of light coming through the cornea.

The lens is held into place with cillary muscles. When these muscles relax, they pull on and flatten the lens, allowing objects both far and near to be seen. After light passes through the lens, it passes through a jelly like substance called the vitreous humor. Light must pass through the vitreous humor before it strikes the sensitive area of the retina.

Embedded within the retina are rods and cones – light sensitive cells that convert the light into electrical signals that are related to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain then turns these signals into the image we see. All of this happens, as it were, in the blink of an eye, faster than we can even imagine.

Your eyes are designed to work perfectly, but what do you do when conditions create poor eyesight? Thankfully, the experienced eye doctors at Gailey Eye Clinic are trained in the latest technologies to help you see and feel your best. Contact lenses, glasses, even laser eye surgery are all options for people whose lives are interrupted by poor eyesight.
