AIO offers patients excellent eye care services, using state-of-the-art technology. The Pittsburgh area eye surgeons (eye doctors) are board-certified and fellowship-trained in their respective areas of expertise. Our surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cataracts, diseases of the cornea, retina (including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic eye care, macular degeneration, retinal detachments, flashes and floaters), glaucoma and vision correction surgery (CustomCornea® LASIK). Patients receive friendly and professional eye care treatment at all six convenient locations: Butler, Greensburg, Meadville, Monroeville, West Mifflin, Wheeling and Uniontown. “At Last! An excimer laser built specifically for custom laser vision correction!” Now, for the first time since 1999, an entirely new excimer laser platform has received regulatory approval in the United States: the ALLEGRETTO WAVE®, built by WaveLight®. Representing a new generation in laser vision technology, it was conceived right from the start for custom treatments and incorporates wavefront principles into each procedure while adjusting the treatment to the patient's unique corneal curvature. |

| Taking human sight beyond 20/20 is possible. The ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Eye-Q customizes every treatment to the patient's individual prescription and cornea while aiming to improve what nature originally designed. The Wavefront Optimized™ treatment considers the unique curvature and biomechanics of the eye, preserving quality of vision and addressing the spherical distortions that can induce glare and night vision reduction. | WaveLight was the first company to introduce high-speed laser vision correction in the United States. Now, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Eye-Q takes the technology one step further with the fastest excimer laser system available today in the U.S. Thanks to the incredible power of the laser, many people can have their vision corrected in as little as eight seconds, some even more quickly. At the same time, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Eye-Q delivers superior results, with less risk of side effects. | PerfectPulse Technology™ ensures safe and precise work at high speed. Each ultra-thin laser pulse is used to sculpt the corneal surface of the eye with the utmost accuracy. The high-speed eye-tracker follows the eye's fastest movements, checking the eye's positions 400 times per second while ensuring an accurate placement of each laser pulse on the cornea. In addition, an integrated crossline projector provides the surgeon with an exact alignment of the eye’s position, making the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Eye-Q one of the safest, most effective optical lasers currently available. |
