New WaveLight PlusPersonalised precision
Latest-generation laser vision correction on 2027 equipment.
Before surgery, the InnovEyes Sightmap device measures the eye’s entire optical system — from the cornea to the retina. From this data, the software builds a laser profile calculated for you alone, and the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser transfers it onto the cornea.

about the technology
Every eye bends light in its own way
Glasses correct only two parameters — sphere and cylinder. But the image on the retina is formed by the eye’s entire optics: both surfaces of the cornea, its thickness, the position of the lens, and the length of the eye. Small deviations in each of these links cause blur that is especially noticeable at dusk.
Standard laser correction programs rely on the prescription and the shape of the front surface of the cornea, and cover the rest with averaged adjustments. Instead of average values, WaveLight Plus uses real measurements of your eye.
Glasses prescription + the same adjustments for everyone.
Measurements of your own eye and a laser profile created to match them.
how it works
From scan to clear vision in three stages
- 01
Scanning
In one examination, the InnovEyes Sightmap diagnostic device measures the eye’s wavefront, corneal tomography and biometry.
- 02
Digital model
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.
- 03
Correction
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.

what the device sees
How much eye data goes into the calculation
The more real measurements in the correction plan, the more precisely the laser reshapes the cornea specifically for you.

comparison
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.

what it gives you
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 official Alcon equipment
The precision of correction depends on the surgeon’s experience and on well-maintained equipment. We have taken care of both in advance.
Specialist training and certificates
The surgeons who perform WaveLight Plus correction have been trained by clinical specialists from Alcon — the manufacturer — and have received certificates to work with this technology.
Official Alcon equipment
The InnovEyes Sightmap diagnostic device and the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser were supplied through official channels. They are serviced by certified Alcon engineers, so the system works with the precision built in by the manufacturer.
Doctors of the Refractive Surgery Department
When the doctor may recommend WaveLight Plus
- 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.
When the doctor will suggest a different method
- a cornea that is too thin, or keratoconus;
- eye inflammation, pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- certain systemic diseases;
- vision that has not yet stabilised.
The doctor makes the final decision after the diagnostic exam — and if WaveLight Plus is not right for you, will recommend another method.
questions
Frequently asked questions about WaveLight Plus
How is WaveLight Plus different from standard laser vision correction?
A standard program calculates the correction from your glasses prescription and the shape of the front surface of the cornea, and fills in the rest with averaged adjustments. WaveLight Plus first measures the entire optics of your eye — both corneal surfaces, the lens, the length of the eye and light distortions — and builds a plan around exactly these measurements.
Does it hurt?
No. Before correction, the eye is numbed with anaesthetic drops. While the laser is working, most patients feel only light pressure.
How long does the procedure take?
The laser works for just a few minutes per eye. You will be told how long the whole visit, including preparation, will take when you book.
When will I start seeing well?
Most patients see noticeably better as early as the next day. Vision fully stabilises over several weeks — the doctor monitors this at follow-up visits.
Does the method correct 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. Go to prices →
How should I prepare for the diagnostic exam?
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.
