Lasik with Femtosecond Laser

Lasik Treatment with Femtosecond Laser

Description:
This new state of the art laser cuts the LASIK corneal flap without the need for a mechanical device that uses a blade (microkeratome).

Distinction
This "Bladeless" procedure produces a flap that is much more precise in depth while being cleaner. This is perhaps the biggest leap in vision correction surgery since the introduction of the original Lasik in 1998.

Suitability
Since the femtosecond laser is a high technology replacement for the mechanical microkeratome. Femtosecond makes LASIK safer by replacing the hand held microkeratome blade with the silent computer guided precision of a laser, virtually eliminating the severe sight – threatening blade related LASIK complications as a result. It is suitable for use in all Lasik related procedures.

Benefits

• Bladeless surgery reduces the chances of post operative complications
• The flap made with the use of a Femtosecond laser is cleaner and thinner
• The femtolaser laser dramatically reduces chances of a seriously thin flap or an extremely thick flap – events that lead to complications.
