Announcement

Centre For Sight has launched the WaveLight Plus InnovEyes system at its Dwarka centre in New Delhi, positioning it as an advanced refractive solution that delivers highly personalized vision correction beyond conventional LASIK.

Technology Overview

WaveLight Plus InnovEyes combines three core layers: (1) 3D eye mapping (Eyevatar) that projects thousands of light rays to create a high‑resolution optical fingerprint and a Digital Eye Twin; (2) Ray‑tracing software that follows light through the cornea to the retina, capturing subtle optical distortions; and (3) an AI‑driven treatment planner that processes roughly 100,000 data points to generate a bespoke laser correction profile. The final surgical step uses a femtosecond laser to cut a micron‑precise corneal flap followed by a 500‑pulses‑per‑second excimer laser with real‑time eye tracking, ensuring the reshaping matches the individualized plan.

Clinical Capabilities

The system is marketed to treat:

  • Myopia up to –8 dioptres (D)
  • Hyperopia up to +5 D
  • Astigmatism up to 6 D

It aims to improve not only standard visual acuity but also contrast sensitivity, glare, halos, night‑driving comfort and overall visual stability.

Benefits for Patients

According to the release, patients can expect sharper, clearer vision; better performance in low‑light conditions; reduced glare and halos; rapid visual recovery within hours; long‑term stability; and correction of higher‑order aberrations. The procedure is described as delivering “superior vision quality” and “more natural, comfortable vision” compared with standard LASIK.

Vision Health Context in India

A national survey cited in the release indicates that uncorrected refractive errors account for 41.53 % of visual impairment in the country. A separate review estimates that 53.1 % of Indian adults possess at least 0.5 dioptre of myopia or hyperopia. Digital eye strain is reported in 33.2 % of the general public and 50.6 % of students engaged in online learning, reflecting a lifestyle‑driven demand for higher‑quality vision correction.

Expert Commentary

Dr. A. John Kanellopoulos, clinical professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and lead researcher on the technology, described the WaveLight Plus results as “particularly encouraging for the future of the field.” Dr. Ronald R. Krueger, a noted refractive surgeon, highlighted the combination of wavefront, tomography and biometry in a single device, noting “really good quality outcomes” and strong refractive accuracy from FDA‑trial data presented at APAO 2025.

Centre For Sight Network and Access

Patients across India can now access the InnovEyes system at Centre For Sight’s Dwarka facility. The Centre’s network comprises 30+ years of operation, 95+ eye‑care centers, and 350+ doctors, offering a comprehensive, under‑one‑roof consultation and treatment experience.

Availability

Interested patients are invited to book a detailed eligibility consultation at Centre For Sight, Dwarka, New Delhi.
