Advanced Technology at Carolina Vision Center

At Carolina Vision Center, we don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” LASIK. That’s why we invest in the most advanced laser technologies available today—providing customized, high-precision outcomes that put our patients first.

WaveLight® PLUS: Next-Generation LASIK, Only at Carolina Vision Center

Building on the precision of Contoura Vision, WaveLight® PLUS is the latest breakthrough in personalized laser eye surgery — and Carolina Vision Center is one of just two providers in North Carolina offering it.

This next-generation platform combines advanced wavefront and topography-guided scanning with faster treatment speeds and improved eye-tracking precision.

Benefits of WaveLight® PLUS include:

• Hyper-Personalized Treatment: Integrates detailed corneal maps and wavefront data for laser pulses tailored to the unique anatomy of your eyes.

• Greater Precision and Speed: Optimized for faster procedures with real-time tracking, enhancing both comfort and outcomes.

• Sharper, More Natural Vision: Designed to reduce post-op glare, halos, and visual distortions — often achieving 20/20 or better.

With WaveLight® PLUS, patients experience the highest level of customization available in LASIK today — only at Carolina Vision Center.

Contoura® Vision: Next-Generation Personalized LASIK

Contoura Vision is a topography-guided LASIK procedure that maps up to 22,000 unique elevation points on the surface of your cornea. This ultra-detailed scan allows our surgeons to correct not only your vision prescription, but also subtle irregularities in your cornea that glasses or contacts can’t address. The result? Sharper, more natural vision with reduced glare and halos.

Alcon Wavelight® EX500 Excimer Laser

The EX500 is one of the fastest excimer lasers available, operating at 500 Hz to precisely reshape the cornea with extraordinary speed and accuracy. Benefits include:

• Exceptional Precision: Beam tracking adjusts 1,000 times per second to match eye movement during surgery.

• Faster Treatment Time: Shorter procedures mean greater comfort and reduced risk of corneal dehydration.

• Consistent Results: Designed to maintain the smoothest possible corneal surface, improving overall outcomes and recovery.

Alcon FS200 Femtosecond Laser

As part of our commitment to bladeless LASIK, we use the Alcon FS200 femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap—without the use of a blade. Features include:

• Ultra-Precise Flap Creation: Allows for a highly customizable flap in terms of thickness, diameter, and hinge placement.

• Improved Safety Profile: Reduces flap-related complications and improves consistency.

• Fast Recovery: Patients experience less inflammation and a quicker return to normal vision.

Together, the FS200 and EX500 form the Alcon Refractive Suite, enabling seamless communication between devices and fully customized treatment for each patient.
