WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser
WaveLight® EX500
Excimer Laser‡
World's Fastest Excimer Laser
The 500 Hz WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser* is the world's fastest excimer laser today, advancing proven ALLEGRETTO WAVE ® excimer laser technology.
Built for Speed and Superb Outcomes
Featuring a 500 Hz repetition rate, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser delivers the world’s fastest ablation times at only 1.4 seconds per diopter,* resulting in consistent outcomes.
Its innovative engineering helps reduce the potential for:
- Stromal dehydration of the cornea
- Flap shrinkage
- Sensitivity to eye movements
- Patient fixation fatigue
Customized for Every Eye
The built-in flexibility of the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser allows surgeons to expand their refractive treatment capabilities:
- Wavefront Optimized®, Wavefront-Guided, Topography-Guided, Custom-Q, and PTK treatments
- Customized pupil-center centration options among different lighting conditions
- Line of sight and corneal vertex centration
Precisely Focused on Accuracy
With a powerful 1050 Hz multi-dimensional eye tracker, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser offers exceptional precision and safety:
- Movement tracking with just 2 milliseconds of latency*
- Dynamic pupil tracking from 1.5 mm to 8.0 mm
- Active pupil centroid shift correction
- NeuroTrack to compensate for cyclotorsion
Optimized Shot Distribution
Utilizing proprietary PerfectPulse Technology®, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser maintains a high pulse frequency with a minimized thermal load:
- Only 1 pulse in 5 is allowed to overlap
- Optimizes temporal and spatial shot distribution
- Additional pulses are sent to the periphery to compensate for energy loss
- Reduces the potential for nighttime glare and halos
Designed With Efficiency in Mind
The WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser workstation has been ergonomically designed to provide enhanced information and usability throughout the refractive procedure:
- Integrated heads-up display
- Fiber slit projector with LED light source
- Increased working distance of 25 cm
- Standard, high-resolution video system
- Built-in, non-contact, online pachymetry
The Cutting Edge of Laser Technology
Featuring enhanced beam path technologies, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser sets the standard for laser precision and durability:
- Completely sealed beam path
- Continuous nitrogen-flushed beam path
- Onboard nitrogen generator
- Long laser head life expectancy
Seamless Integration
As part of the WaveLight® Refractive Suite, the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser can be networked through WaveNet™, an integrated network, with the WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond Laser and WaveLight® diagnostic devices for simplified data throughput that:
- Improves the patient experience and patient flow
- Saves valuable surgeon and staff time
- Reduces the potential of transcription errors for consistent refractive outcomes
