Custom LASIK or wavefront technology has been a major breakthrough for the field of vision correction. LASIK patients can now benefit from customized LASIK treatments with the new Optimized LASIK system of the Allegretto Wave®. Wavefront technology actually comes from the Hubble Telescope project. In order to fix the Hubble telescope, they needed a new way to analyze the visual information. The scientists involved in the project developed wavefront technology, a method to examine the visual information one pixel at a time. It was a breakthrough! At Denver Eye Surgeons, we are now using this concept to analyze and treat human vision. Wavefront-optimized LASIK gives everyone a unique treatment giving you the chance for excellent outcomes.
One of the most innovative features of the ALLEGRETTO WAVE is the way it uses wavefront-optimized technology to automatically compensate for the curvature of the cornea. In earlier laser correction systems, the “optical zone,” or area of correction, was centered on the front of the cornea; the result was a flattened circular area that ended with an abrupt edge, causing unwanted side effects like poor night vision, glare, and halos.
The ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Eye-Q customizes every treatment based on the patient’s individual prescription and the shape of their cornea, aiming to improve what nature originally designed. The Wavefront Optimized™ treatment considers the unique curvature and biomechanics of the eye to preserve the quality of vision and eliminate or reduce the spherical distortions that can cause glare and may affect night vision. In addition to Wavefront Optimization™, the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Eye-Q is capable of performing custom Wavefront-Guided LASIK procedures.
The “conventional” or “standard” LASIK technology that is used on most lasers does not account for a patient’s pre-existing corneal shape and is not designed to adequately treat the peripheral cornea. The result is the creation of spherical distortions or aberrations that cause a decrease in the quality of vision and an increase in glare, particularly at night.
At Denver Eye Surgeons, using the ALLEGRETTO WAVE excimer laser, you will always receive a wavefront-optimized custom LASIK treatment. This technology is aimed at increasing the quality of vision following LASIK and decreasing potential side effects.
The LASIK doctors at Denver Eye Surgeons are pleased to bring this high level of Custom LASIK eye surgery to Denver. Our LASIK surgeons are highly qualified and skilled surgeons that choose the best technology and care for their patients.

Dr Tetrault and his techs were very thorough and although I didn’t get the best news that I was hoping for, my eyes didn’t get any worse. Also, Penny in the optical department was very helpful in getting my glasses!
Kassidy was very thorough, knowledgeable and patient. Certainly an asset to this organization
Always a great experience. We have been clients of DES since we moved to Denver in 1993. Everyone from reception to checkout is 1st rate.
Dr Crosby did a good job in explaining to me how to treat my dry eye condition. The Dr also suggested I see a cataract specialist to have my right eye corrected.
I hit 2 as far as satisfaction when I meant to type 1- sorry- service was wonderful, the doctor & staff were winderful. Professional & efficient. No complaints at all!
Dr Tetrault has managed my glaucoma for many years and he and the staff there have provided excellent care at every appointment. I feel confident I am receiving the best care possible and highly recommended him and Denver Eye Surgeons. We have my step daughter going there now to deal with macular degeneration.
The female surgeon I saw was very professional and gave me information about my eye that should have been given at my last visit about a spot on back of my eye. She was informative and thorough.
The staff and the doctor I saw for my upcoming cataract surgery was fantastic they were polite courteous and answered every question that I had I'm getting my first cataract surgery done next month
I recently saw Claire Purser, OD and Kassidy Campton, contac lens technician at Denver Eye Surgeons. They were both professional, knowledgeable and personable. Took time to answer all questions. The entire staff at the office deserve 5 star ratings.
I want to commend Kayla M. for her care and understanding with patients during check in. She is always cheerful and calm, never rushing anyone. A true professional!
They have taken excellent care of our eyes for years! I am confident they know what they are doing. The appointments are easy to schedule and there are plenty of comfortable chairs to wait for your appointment. The waiting time is brief. We are always satisfied!
Incredible customer service!!! Everyone was engaging, kind, supportive and professional ~all the way from the front desk, visit, exit. Dr Noguchi was excellent- bedside manner, medical intervention, demeanor. He is a world class physician and a classy gentleman. Thank you all for treating me like family
Tania was very nice and personable. She answered all my questions. Very very friendly! Dr. Costin was also very personable and good.
Tania came in to the exam room to perform the pre appointment examination before meeting with Dr. Purser. Tania was very thorough, professional and personable. A very good experience.
I was so impressed by your staff. One person really went out of her way, Tonia. Very helpful and kind. She has great patient care ethics. Great job team.
Everyone was wonderful and explained everything very thoroughly, including billing. Both office staff and doctors were great! I had a past retinal detachment and they treated it very seriously.
Kassidy did a fantastic job fitting me for my contacts. She was very patient and friendly and I am seeing great in my new monovision set up. Thanks Kassidy!
Great experience with Kassidy after cataract surgery for contact lens fitting. She explains everything in layman’s terms that make it easy to understand what I am experiencing very easy to understand. Thank you Kassidy.
Dr Costin was amazing. She is highly professional, very honest, and would recommend her to anyone. In fact, the entire staff was amazing.
Dr Crosby, her Tech and her assistant... First Dr Crosby's tech. I was so pleased with her. She did the exam and front end of my appointment. She was very detailed and thorough, as well as kind. The best I have had in many years of exams. Dr Crosby was new for me after my prior Dr left. Much better manner then the prior Dr. She answered all my questions and was very thorough and kind as well. Her assistant was very helpful, and I suspect the employee who helped me with a lost prescription. To conclude, a happy experience!
Able to see me quickly for an eye infection and staff very friendly including Joanna and Dr Crosby!
