How WaveLight Plus LASIK Technology Works
WaveLight Plus eye surgery uses ray tracing technology. This helps the system see exactly how light moves through your eye. Standard LASIK only looks at the front of your eye. WaveLight LASIK eye surgery maps your whole eye from front to back.
- 1It scans your eye. A device called Sightmap measures your cornea and how light passes through your eye.
- 2It builds your Digital Eye Twin. Your measurements become a 3D model of your eye.
- 3It plans and treats. The treatment is planned on your digital eye first, then the laser applies it in seconds.
Main Features
Digital Eye Twin
The system makes a complete 3D model of your eye. We call this your Digital Eye Twin. It captures every unique part of your eye from front to back. This lets doctors make a treatment plan just for you.
Whole Eye Mapping
WaveLight Plus maps your complete eye. It looks at the cornea, lens, and retina. Standard LASIK only looks at the cornea surface. This full eye view helps the system find problems that old systems cannot see.
Exact Treatment
The system looks at all the unique parts of your eye. It plans for how your cornea will heal. It makes a treatment just for your eye. This gives you the best results.

- You have myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness) or astigmatism

Book My Eye AssessmentThe Process
Here is how WaveLight Plus works step by step:
Step 1: Eye Scan
First, doctors use a device called Sightmap. This device has three tools in one:
- A corneal scanner that takes 3D pictures of your cornea
- A wavefront tool that measures how light moves through your eye
- A laser tool that finds the exact spots where light bends in your eye
Step 2: Collect Data
- The system collects over 100,000 data points about your eye.
- It's accurate to within 1/100,000th of a millimetre.
- The system traces about 2,000 light rays through your eye. It does this forward and backwards.
- This shows how light really travels through your unique eye.
Step 3: Make Digital Eye Twin
- Using all the data, the system makes a complete 3D model of your eye. This is your Digital Eye Twin.
- It shows the shape of your cornea, how light bends, and the exact paths light takes through your eye.
Step 4: AI Planning
- Smart AI tools look at your Digital Eye Twin. They test many treatment options.
- The system keeps testing until it finds the best one. This removes human errors.
- It fixes both basic vision problems, like near vision, and complex problems, like halos and glare.
Step 5: Custom Treatment Plan
- The final plan reshapes your cornea with precision.
- Standard LASIK uses a one-size-fits-all approach. WaveLight Plus makes a pattern unique to your eye.
- The plan accounts for how your cornea will heal and how the laser works. This gives you results that match your eye.
Step 6: Fast Laser Treatment
- The laser applies your custom treatment in just 10 to 15 seconds per eye.
- Even with all the planning, the actual treatment is quick and easy.
- It takes the same time as standard LASIK but gives much better results.
