Advanced Technology
Understanding Advanced Technology
Technology in vision correction has evolved dramatically, just like your smartphone has changed over the years. The problem is that many practices continue using older equipment because upgrading requires significant investment. When you choose a practice with advanced technology, you’re choosing better precision, faster recovery times, and access to procedures that weren’t possible even a few years ago.
The right technology makes a real difference in your outcome. Advanced platforms allow for customized treatments tailored to your unique eye anatomy, not just a one-size-fits-all approach. This means sharper vision, reduced side effects like glare and halos, and the ability to help patients who previously weren’t candidates for vision correction. If you’ve been told “no” elsewhere, it might be because that practice simply doesn’t have the tools to safely help you.
Advanced Technology Options We Offer
We continuously invest in the latest innovations so we can offer more options to more people. Each technology serves a specific purpose, and during your consultation, Dr. Wu will recommend the best fit for your unique eyes and lifestyle goals.
SMILE Pro
SMILE Pro represents the next generation of laser vision correction, using the VisuMax 800 platform for incredibly fast and precise treatment. The entire laser portion takes just seconds, making it the quickest vision correction procedure available today. This flapless technique creates minimal disruption to your cornea, which means reduced dry eye risk and greater structural stability—perfect if you’re active in contact sports or martial arts.
Contoura LASIK
Contoura LASIK uses topography-guided technology that maps over 22,000 unique elevation points on your cornea’s surface. Think of it as creating a personalized fingerprint of your eye, then using that information to guide the laser with extraordinary precision. This customized approach can correct subtle irregularities you didn’t even know existed, resulting in vision that’s often sharper than what you had with glasses or contacts.
Ultra-Thin Flap LASIK
Ultra-thin flap LASIK creates a corneal flap that’s significantly thinner than traditional LASIK, preserving more of your natural corneal tissue. This technique is particularly valuable for patients with thinner corneas who might have been turned away elsewhere. The thinner flap also promotes faster healing and maintains better corneal biomechanical strength, giving you both safety and excellent visual outcomes.
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Laser-assisted cataract surgery replaces manual surgical steps with computer-guided laser precision for your lens replacement procedure. The laser creates perfectly sized incisions and precisely fragments the cataract, allowing for gentler removal with less ultrasound energy. This advanced approach leads to faster recovery, reduced inflammation, and more predictable outcomes—especially important when you’re investing in premium lens implants.
LAL IOL Implant
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is revolutionary because it’s the only IOL that can be fine-tuned after implantation. Using special UV light treatments performed in the office, Dr. Wu can adjust your lens prescription based on how your eye actually heals, not just predictions made before surgery. This means you get to “test drive” your vision and make adjustments until it’s exactly right—no other lens technology offers this level of customization.
How We Use Advanced Technology in Your Treatment
- Precision Diagnostic Mapping
- Customized Laser Programming
- Real-Time Tracking During Treatment
- Light-Guided Lens Optimization
- Digital Monitoring and Follow-Up
Precision Diagnostic Mapping
Dr. Wu begins with comprehensive diagnostic scans using multiple advanced imaging systems to capture detailed measurements of your corneal topography, thickness, and overall eye health. These sophisticated devices collect thousands of data points that reveal subtle characteristics invisible to standard equipment. This thorough mapping ensures Dr. Wu can identify the best technology and create the most accurate treatment plan for your unique vision correction needs.
Customized Laser Programming
Dr. Wu analyzes your diagnostic data using advanced software that calculates your optimal treatment parameters, incorporating her specialized formula for adjustments based on your specific prescription and corneal features. For procedures like Contoura LASIK, she programs the laser to address over 22,000 unique elevation points on your cornea’s surface. With SMILE Pro on the VisuMax 800, she configures the ultra-fast laser system to create your precise corneal lenticule in just seconds.
Real-Time Tracking During Treatment
During your procedure, advanced eye-tracking technology monitors your eye position thousands of times per second and adjusts the laser delivery accordingly. This sophisticated tracking system ensures micron-level accuracy even if you make tiny involuntary eye movements. Whether you’re receiving ultra-thin flap LASIK or laser-assisted cataract surgery, this real-time precision technology guarantees your treatment is delivered exactly as Dr. Wu planned.
Light-Guided Lens Optimization
For patients receiving the LAL IOL implant, Dr. Wu uses specialized UV light technology to fine-tune your lens prescription after it’s already implanted in your eye. You’ll return for adjustment sessions where controlled light treatments reshape the lens molecular structure based on how your eye actually healed. This unique post-surgical customization capability means you get to experience different vision options and choose the one that works best for your lifestyle before the final lock-in treatment.
Digital Monitoring and Follow-Up
Dr. Wu personally reviews your healing progress using advanced imaging that tracks corneal recovery, visual acuity improvements, and any subtle changes in eye anatomy. She texts every patient the evening of their procedure and sees you personally at your first follow-up visit to ensure the technology delivered the exceptional results you both expected. This combination of cutting-edge diagnostic equipment and personal attention ensures any adjustments can be made quickly if needed.

FAQs
What's the difference between regular SMILE and SMILE Pro?
SMILE Pro uses the VisuMax 800 platform, which is significantly faster than the original SMILE procedure performed on the VisuMax 500. The laser portion of SMILE Pro takes just seconds compared to the longer treatment time of regular SMILE. This speed improvement means less time holding still during the procedure and an even more comfortable experience overall.
What is Contoura LASIK?
Contoura LASIK is a topography-guided laser vision correction that maps over 22,000 elevation points on your cornea to create a detailed, personalized treatment plan. Unlike traditional LASIK that only corrects your prescription, Contoura addresses subtle irregularities in your corneal surface that affect visual quality. This advanced mapping technology allows for highly customized correction that can result in vision sharper than you had with glasses or contacts.
Is Contoura LASIK worth it?
Contoura LASIK is worth considering if you want the sharpest possible vision and the most customized treatment available. Many patients achieve better than 20/20 vision and experience improved night vision with reduced glare and halos compared to traditional LASIK. The added precision is particularly valuable if you have irregular astigmatism or want the best possible visual outcome for activities like night driving or sports.
Is laser-assisted cataract surgery better than traditional?
Laser-assisted cataract surgery offers greater precision and consistency compared to traditional manual techniques, resulting in more predictable outcomes and faster recovery. The laser creates perfectly sized incisions and gently breaks up the cataract with less ultrasound energy, reducing inflammation and trauma to surrounding eye structures. While both approaches are safe and effective, laser assistance is particularly beneficial when you’re investing in premium lens implants that require exact positioning for optimal vision.
How long does Light Adjustable Lens last?
The Light Adjustable Lens is designed to last a lifetime, just like any other premium intraocular lens implant. Once Dr. Wu completes your customization sessions and performs the final “lock-in” treatment, the lens becomes permanently set in your chosen prescription. The LAL is made from the same durable materials as other IOLs and doesn’t degrade or lose its adjustability features over time—you simply keep the optimized vision you selected during the adjustment phase.
