The Latest Breakthrough in Vision Correction Surgical Technology

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, Kelly Vision, the leader in luxury ophthalmology and refractive surgery in New York City, is thrilled to announce that they will be the first practice in New York to offer Wavelight Plus. This is the newest surgical offering in vision correction to date, defined by being the first fully personalized ray-tracing LASIK option available. This cutting-edge procedure represents a major breakthrough in laser vision correction. Kelly Vision’s esteemed surgeons, Founder Dr. James Kelly and Dr. Ashley Brissette are proud to offer their patients the latest and greatest technologies, driven by their unwavering dedication to the gift of clear vision for all.

“Introducing Wavelight Plus means we can tailor each treatment to the unique needs of the individual eye, allowing for exceptional precision and better visual results.” says Dr. James Kelly. “Our focus always remains on providing the highest standard of care and elevating our patients’ everyday lives through clear vision. Acquiring the newest technologies in the field is beyond an achievement, it is integral to supporting our patients.”

Wavelight Plus’ uses a state‑of‑the‑art ray‑tracing technology that generates a 3D digital twin of your eye, allowing surgeons to create a highly individualized treatment plan that accounts for microscopic ocular surface irregularities. Clinically, the results speak for themselves with 100% of patients achieving at least 20/20 vision. In fact, 9 out of 10 patients achieve vision better than 20/20, with half reaching an astounding 20/12.5. Nearly all patients reported that they would undergo the procedure again and would recommend it to a family member. The treatment is both painless and quick, typically taking just 15 to 20 minutes with ultra‑rapid laser delivery. Most patients notice improved vision within hours, and recovery is fast—allowing them to return to normal activities within one to two days after surgery.

“What excites me most about Wavelight Plus is how quickly patients experience life-changing results. Being able to offer a treatment that combines incredible technology with such a smooth recovery is a game-changer, both for surgeons and for our patients.” says Dr. Ashley Brissette.

In addition to Wavelight Plus, Kelly Vision offers a variety of advanced treatments including LASIK, EVO ICL, SMILE, cataract surgery, as well as innovative options like OptiLight for dry eye and OptiLift for eyelid rejuvenation. Kelly Vision’s patients are in the best position, being able to explore every personalized option tailored to their unique needs. Kelly Vision is proud to add the Wavelight Plus to these offerings.
