WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond Laser
At the cutting edge of refractive technology, the FS200 delivers fast, effective, and extremely reliable femtosecond flap creation — typically in roughly 6 seconds.
About the FS200
What Is the WaveLight FS200?
The WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond Laser is at the cutting edge of refractive technology. It integrates new functions to deliver fast, effective, and extremely reliable femtosecond laser treatments — including typical standard flap creation in roughly 6.0 seconds.
In addition to supporting both custom and circular-shape flap parameters, the FS200 also supports a variety of additional applications, including intracorneal ring segments along with penetrating and lamellar keratoplasties. It has been ergonomically optimized to combine with the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser.
FS200 Advantages
Benefits Over Older LASIK Systems
Fastest Flap Creation
An exclusive scanning algorithm, an optimized 200 kHz repetition rate, and customizable spacing and energy parameters work together to make the FS200 the fastest femtosecond flap-creation platform in the world.
Minimized Opaque Bubble Layer
The FS200 forms a tunnel to vent the gas produced during flap creation, minimizing Opaque Bubble Layer (OBL) issues. Excimer laser treatment can be performed immediately after the flap cut, resulting in faster overall refractive procedures.
Precise, Clean Flaps
Powered by PerfectPulse Technology®, the FS200 delivers extremely sharp cutting edges, easy-to-lift flaps, smooth stromal beds, and a minimized opaque bubble layer for high-precision treatments.
Automated Beam Control
An automated Beam Control Check calibrates each individual applanation cone prior to treatment — compensating for Z-position variances and temperature changes, and providing consistent flap thickness through reduced standard deviation.
Tailored Performance
Adjustable hinge positions and sizes, plus variable side-cut angles, flap sizes, and shapes, expand treatment options — including adjustable flap centration after suction, lamellar and penetrating keratoplasty, and intracorneal ring segments.
Ergonomic Design
A high-quality microscope provides visibility throughout the procedure, an adjustable joystick accommodates either hand depending on the treated eye, and a motorized laser arm with 3-axis movement enhances docking precision.
The LASIK System
FS200 + EX500: The WaveLight Platform
The FS200 handles Step 1 of LASIK (flap creation), while the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser handles Step 2 (vision correction). Together, they form Alcon's complete WaveLight LASIK platform — the fastest combined system in the industry.
Step 1: WaveLight FS200
- Creates corneal flap in <6 seconds
- 200 kHz pulse rate for maximum speed
- Bladeless, contactless flap creation
- Custom flap parameters per patient
Step 2: WaveLight EX500
- Corrects prescription in 1–6 seconds/diopter
- 500 Hz repetition rate — world's fastest
- 1,050 Hz eye tracker for real-time precision
- Wavefront-optimized treatment profiles
