What is LASIK?

Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis, also known as LASIK, is a flap-based laser vision correction procedure. With traditional LASIK, a controlled blade (microkeratome) is used to create the flap (a kind of hinged piece of corneal tissue). The flap is then folded back to reveal the underlying corneal stroma tissue, which is reshaped using an excimer laser to rectify the refractive error.

What is FemtoLASIK?

FemtoLASIK is an advanced laser technology that corrects refractive defects without using a blade. The advanced blade-free refractive treatment performs better than microkeratome or blade LASIK. The flap is created with a fast and precise femtosecond (ultrashort pulse) laser.

Treatment Steps

Flap creation

Numbing eyedrops are applied to the eye. A femtosecond laser is used to make a thin and accurate flap in the cornea. This laser operates at extremely high speeds, providing greater control and accuracy than the mechanical microkeratome blade used in traditional LASIK.

Proceed with excimer laser

After creating the flap, the patient stays in place as the laser arm is positioned for surgery. The doctor then lifts the hinged flap of the eye.

Corneal sculpting

The excimer laser removes the corneal tissue point by point within a few seconds, thereby correcting the visual defect.

Flap is repositioned

Afterward, the flap is returned to its original position, protecting the eye much like a natural bandage.

Our Equipment

Femtosecond Laser

During FemtoLASIK, a femtosecond laser (ZEISS VISUMAX) is used to create a flap on the cornea before the stromal ablation by excimer laser.

Excimer Laser

During FemtoLASIK, an excimer laser (SCHWIND AMARIS) is used to perform stromal ablation which corrects the refractive error.
