Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes LASIK Surgery in Delhi
Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes LASIK Surgery in Delhi
Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes is a US-FDA approved LASIK procedure performed in Delhi at Visual Aids Centre that uses automated 3D ray-tracing technology to map and correct the complete optical system of each eye including the higher-order aberrations that glasses, contact lenses, and standard procedures cannot address. It is the first refractive technology to measure the full optical pathway of the eye cornea, lens, and retina in three dimensions and create a completely personalised treatment plan using automated ray-tracing calculations.
This page covers what Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes is, how it differs from standard LASIK and lenticular extraction procedures, how the procedure works step by step, what clinical results patients achieve, and why patients across Delhi choose Visual Aids Centre for this procedure.
In a prospective clinical study of 212 eyes at 3 months post-operatively, 98% of patients achieved 20/20 vision or better, 82% achieved 20/16 or better, and 99% said they would undergo the procedure again and recommend it to others.
What is Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes LASIK Surgery?
Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes, developed by Alcon, is the first refractive technology that measures the full optical system of each eye and creates a completely personalised LASIK treatment plan using automated ray-tracing calculations. It is US-FDA approved.
Unlike standard LASIK or lenticular extraction procedures, Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes does not just correct the prescription. It maps the entire optical pathway of the eye cornea, lens, and retina in three dimensions, and corrects the subtle, complex imperfections called higher-order aberrations that glasses, contact lenses, and non-customised procedures cannot address.
Higher-order aberrations are responsible for visual symptoms including halos around lights, starbursts, and double vision, especially at night. By correcting them alongside the standard prescription, Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes delivers not just clear vision but exceptional visual quality.
At Visual Aids Centre in Delhi, the procedure uses the InnovEyes SightMap diagnostic system and the Alcon EX500 excimer laser.
How Does Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes Differ from Standard LASIK and Lenticular Extraction in Delhi?
| Feature | Non-Customised* | Wavelight® Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Basic eye prescription measurement | ✔ | ✔ |
| Customised to your individual eye | ✘ | ✔ |
| Incorporates eye surface irregularity measurements into surgical plan | ✘ | ✔ |
| Creates a virtual 3D model of your eye | ✘ | ✔ |
| Total customisation maximises quality of vision | ✘ | ✔ |
| Corrects higher-order aberrations (halos, starbursts, double vision) | ✘ | ✔ |
*Non-customised includes: Lenticular Extraction Procedures.
Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes incorporates eye surface irregularity measurements into the surgical plan, creates a virtual 3D model of the eye, and corrects higher-order aberrations none of which are features of non-customised procedures or lenticular extraction. This total customisation is why patients achieve visual acuity levels of 20/16, 20/12.5, and 20/10 vision levels that surpass what standard correction delivers.
How Does Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes Procedure Work in Delhi?
The Wavelight® Plus InnovEyes procedure at Visual Aids Centre Delhi consists of 3 sequential steps. The laser treatment takes approximately 10–15 seconds per eye. Numbing eye drops are applied for comfort during the procedure.
Step 1: Creating Your 3D Digital Eye Model
The InnovEyes SightMap a single diagnostic instrument captures 3 types of measurements: Scheimpflug tomography for corneal mapping, Hartmann-Shack wavefront analysis, and interferometry for axial length. Together, these create a highly detailed 3D virtual model of the eye called an “eyevatar”, which forms the foundation of the personalised treatment plan.
Step 2: AI-Guided Personalised Treatment Planning
The Wavelight® Plus software analyses the eyevatar using automated ray-tracing. It virtually traces thousands of light rays through the eye’s optical system to calculate the precise corrections needed for the prescription (sphere and cylinder), higher-order aberrations, and the optical tilt between cornea and lens. The software also accounts for expected healing patterns and biomechanical changes. The result is a treatment plan uniquely optimised for that eye.
Step 3: Bladeless Laser Procedure
A femtosecond laser creates a thin corneal flap entirely bladeless. The EX500 excimer laser then reshapes the cornea based on the personalised ray-tracing treatment plan, correcting the prescription and higher-order aberrations simultaneously in a single pass. Patients notice improved vision from day one and can return to work the next day.
