FDA-approved. First in the U.S.

Wavelight Plus is the first FDA-approved advancement in LASIK in over a decade, offering a new level of precision through groundbreaking ray tracing technology. Of all the LASIK surgeons in the United States, Alcon chose Dr. Lobanoff to be the first to use this innovative technology, making OVO the first clinic in the country to offer Wavelight Plus. OVO remains the only provider in Minnesota, giving patients access to one of the most advanced LASIK options available.

What Is Wavelight Plus?

It’s a next-generation LASIK platform that uses ray tracing to measure how light moves through your entire eye, not just the cornea. With over 1,500 data points per eye, it creates a vision correction plan that is more precisely matched to your unique optical system.

What This Means for You:

  • A treatment plan tailored to the way your eyes process light
  • More potential for crisp, clear vision in low-light environments
  • Greater ability to minimize glare, halos, or other visual disturbances
