FIRST FDA-APPROVED LASIK SYSTEM DESIGNED TO REDUCE NIGHTTIME GLARE COMES TO TUCSON
— PIMA EYE INSTITUTE, first TUCSON LASIK center to acquire technology clinically proven to reduce number-one post-LASIK complaint —

TUCSON, AZ, JULY of 2009 – LASIK surgery, to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness, continues to be the most popular elective surgery in the United States. However, until recently, freedom from glasses and contact lenses often came with a price: the potential for LASIK-induced night vision problems — such as glare and halos — that can affect an individual’s ability to drive at night. According to a recent report from the American Academy of Ophthalmology, poor night vision is the number one post-LASIK complication. Pima EyeInstitute is the first TUCSON eye care center to offer the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® with PerfectPulse Technology™, an FDA-approved LASIK technology specifically built to address certain optical distortions that are the chief cause of nighttime vision and glare.
