(InfoMailers.com) ::
Introducing the Safest and Fastest Eye Laser of the World for freedom from
spectacles and contact lens, using the Wavelight Concerto 500 Hz Laser system which
is designed to occupy a novel niche market of luxury excimer laser technology, has
been launched at Shroff Eye Hospital in Mumbai. The first of its kind, the 500Hz
Wavefront, one of 6 in the world and only one in India, is the latest advancement of
Wavelight lasers today, the only platform approved by US FDA to improve night
vision.

The Wavelight Concerto 500 Hz is by far the fastest technology which ensures
uncontested treatment time, treating one Dioptre (spectacle number) in 1.6 seconds
and average treatment of under 5 seconds. The patients have faster visual recovery.
The treatments are perfectly accurate and well-centered and do away with
possibilities of errors such as glares and haloes that still exist today with older
laser systems.

\"The Concerto is a high-end platform developed for the surgeon who has premium
expectations for technology and service and wants more from an excimer laser than
just a reliable piece of equipment" said Max Reindl, President and Chief Executive
Officer of WaveLight Laser Technologie AG. \"We have developed a best-of-breed laser
that implements the current state of the art in terms of technology, thus setting a
new standard in laser refractive surgery.\"

The Wavelight Concerto laser was also awarded "Design Award of the FRG 2006" for its
outstanding design and exemplary ergonomics, even receiving a 'Feng Shui'
certification. The Concerto combines safety, perfection, quality, and individuality
to achieve excellent results and the highest vision quality. It is the first laser
system to fully integrate diagnostic and treatment capabilities into one laser
platform. (Cataract and Refractive Surgery Today 2007)

"With this technology our treatments are customized for the person's needs, numbers
and age to give a precise result. With the launch of the Concerto, people in India
will have access to technology, safety and precision available only at 6 centers in
the world and at one-fourth the cost at Shroff Eye Hospital. Considering our
experience of 88 years in eye care, we chose to upgrade to the 500 Hz Wavefront
technology, to be able to offer the best available in lasers today to our patients
in India " said Dr. Anand Shroff, LASIK expert and renowned eye-care specialist with
12 years experience at Shroff Eye
