about the method
Surgery calculated for one eye — yours
Every eye has its own corneal shape and thickness, anterior chamber depth, lens position and length. WaveLight Plus takes all of these parameters into account together.
Standard correction
The laser profile is based on your refraction and the shape of the front surface of the cornea, using a fixed matrix of adjustments.
WaveLight Plus
The laser profile is based on a 3D model of the eye’s entire optical system and refined for every single laser pulse.
The method is built around the InnovEyes Sightmap diagnostic device. In a single examination it measures the eye’s wavefront, corneal tomography and biometry. From this data, optical ray tracing creates a virtual model of the eye: the software “passes” light through it and sees exactly where the image is not focused precisely.
The system then calculates an individual ablation profile — how, and how much, corneal tissue the laser needs to reshape so that light rays focus on the retina. A new pre-compensation algorithm models the effectiveness of each pulse depending on its position on the cornea and takes into account how the epithelium heals after surgery.
The finished plan is sent to the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser, which performs the correction. For the surgeon, this means a treatment plan in just a few clicks, with no manual data entry or extra calculations; for the patient, it means less room for error.
how it works
Three steps to personalised precision
We measure
One device — many measurements. Sightmap collects data on the eye’s entire optical system:
- the eye’s wavefront
- corneal tomography
- biometry
We personalise
Ray tracing creates a 3D model of the eye. The system calculates a unique ablation profile and shows the vision you will get after laser correction.
We perform
The plan is sent to the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser with an individual platinum card that is registered in the manufacturer’s cloud systems and cannot be reused. The plan is approved by the surgeon.

How much the laser knows about your eye
Before correction, the device measures your eye. The more parameters it takes into account, the more precisely the laser will reshape the cornea specifically for you.

Comparison with SMILE / Femto LASIK
SMILE and femto-LASIK calculate the correction from your glasses prescription — sphere and cylinder. New WaveLight Plus first builds a 3D model of your eye and calculates the correction for it.

Benefits for the patient
Safety before surgery
Decisions are based on data from a new diagnostic suite that is unique in Ukraine. An experienced surgeon checks the calculations.
Full personalisation
The calculation is based on a 3D model of your own eye.
Clear vision at night
Higher-order aberrations are corrected, so halos and glare from headlights do not bother you.
Even more control during surgery
The laser tracks the eye in real time and responds within a thousandth of a second.
Fast recovery
Patients see well the very next day. Diagnostics and correction on the same day.
doctors and equipment
Certified doctors and genuine Alcon equipment
The precision of WaveLight Plus depends on two things: the surgeon’s experience and properly maintained equipment. We have taken care of both.
Our doctors are trained and certified
The surgeons who perform WaveLight Plus correction have been trained by clinical specialists from Alcon — the manufacturer of the technology — and have received specialist certificates to work with this equipment.
our doctorsGenuine Alcon equipment
The InnovEyes Sightmap diagnostic station and the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser are genuine equipment supplied by the manufacturer. They are serviced by certified Alcon engineers, so the laser works with the precision the manufacturer designed it for.
who it’s for
Who your doctor may recommend WaveLight Plus for
The method may be right for you if
- myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and their combination
- higher-order aberrations: halos or “blurring” at night
- you want the most personalised plan possible and a highly predictable result
- the quality of your vision at dusk and behind the wheel matters to you
The decision is made after a diagnostic exam
- the doctor assesses the thickness and shape of your cornea, the condition of your eyes and your general health
- the contraindications are the same as for other laser vision correction methods: a thin cornea, inflammation, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and certain systemic diseases
- if WaveLight Plus is not right for you, the doctor will suggest a different method

questions
Frequently asked questions about WaveLight Plus
How is WaveLight Plus different from conventional laser vision correction?
Conventional profiles are calculated from your refraction and the shape of the front surface of the cornea, using a fixed matrix of adjustments. WaveLight Plus builds a 3D model of the entire eye (both sides of the cornea, the lens, eye length and wavefront) and calculates the laser profile specifically for that model.
Is the procedure painful?
No. The correction is carried out under local anaesthetic eye drops, just like other laser vision correction methods. Patients usually feel only light pressure.
What will my vision be like after surgery?
At 3 months after surgery, 99.1% of eyes see 1.0 or better without glasses*. Your doctor will give you a personal prognosis after a diagnostic exam.
Is the method suitable for astigmatism?
Yes. The method is suitable for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and their combination. Your doctor will decide whether it is right for you after a full examination.
How much does WaveLight Plus correction cost?
UAH 42,500 per eye when both eyes are treated. The first 99 patients get a 10% discount — UAH 38,250 per eye: after the diagnostic exam you make a prepayment, and the price is fixed in your contract. All prices are on the “Prices” page.
How should I prepare?
No special preparation is needed — just come for the examination. If you wear contact lenses, the doctor will tell you how many days before the diagnostic exam to stop wearing them so that the cornea returns to its natural shape.
