Many people believe “a laser is a laser is a laser.” It’s understandable, given that all LASIK eye surgery systems use a laser beam to reshape corneas and help correct vision problems. But there are many differences in LASIK equipment.

These technological differences matter because they can affect what happens during the procedure. More importantly, they can affect the vision you will have for the rest of your life. With this in mind, Dr. Horn is committed to using only advanced laser eye surgery systems – the VISX STAR S4 and the Allegretto Wave laser.

The Allegretto Wave and the VISX STAR S4 lasers available at our Nashville offices offer the ability to treat broad ranges of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism incorporating data collected from the wavefront system. This new level of measurement provides 25-times more precision than measurements using standards methods for glasses and contact lenses. This new generation of refractive technology allows patients to achieve exceptional results under all lighting situations, day and night.
