A Breakthrough, Close to Home

When Alcon introduced Wavelight® Plus LASIK, they turned to Dr. Mark Lobanoff and OVO LASIK + LENS to bring it to U.S. patients first.
That distinction matters, not just because it reflects trust from the global leader in vision technology, but because it means patients in Minnesota can access one of the most advanced LASIK options available anywhere.

But what does that mean for you, the patient? Let’s break it down.

How Does Wavelight Plus Feel Different for Patients?

Traditional LASIK has always delivered freedom from glasses and contacts, but some patients notice halos, glare, or reduced clarity at night.

Wavelight Plus is designed to address those concerns:

• Sharper vision day and night – improved contrast and detail across lighting conditions.
• Reduced halos and glare – especially noticeable for night driving.
• A better chance at “beyond 20/20” – with many patients in studies achieving 20/16 or better.
• Fast recovery – most patients notice improvements within 24 hours.

It’s not about replacing LASIK — it’s about taking it further.

Who Benefits Most from Wavelight Plus?

While most LASIK candidates can benefit, certain groups stand out:

• Night drivers – less glare, halos, and starbursts.
• Patients with subtle aberrations – Wavelight Plus corrects imperfections standard LASIK can’t.
• Those seeking sharper clarity – athletes, professionals, or anyone who wants more than “good enough” vision.
• People previously told LASIK wasn’t ideal – Wavelight Plus maps the entire eye, which may expand candidacy.

Patient Questions We Hear Most

Is it safe?

Yes. LASIK is one of the most studied elective procedures. Wavelight Plus builds on that safety with even more precise mapping.

Does the procedure take longer?

No. The diagnostics are more advanced, but the procedure itself is still quick, usually about 10 minutes per eye.

What about recovery?

Most patients see improvement the very next day. Mild dryness or light sensitivity may occur, but these effects typically fade quickly.

Will I need glasses again?

While no procedure can stop natural aging of the eyes, most patients enjoy years of independence from glasses and contacts.

Is it covered by insurance?

Like other forms of LASIK, Wavelight Plus is usually considered elective and not covered by insurance. Flexible spending or financing options may apply.
