This is a newer technique, wherein rather than cutting, the femtosecond laser creates gas bubbles which create a cleavage plane amongst the corneal lamellae. It creates a more uniform flap and is linked to better long-term outcomes. In contrast to microkeratome flaps, laser flaps are more predictable and have consistent thickness throughout. These higher quality flaps mean an even lower less risk of complications, including a decreased risk of corneal abrasions and astigmatism.
Bladefree all-laser LASIK is an especially good option for patients with more steep or thinner corneas. There are lesser chances of buttonholing, free flap with the femtosecond flap creation method. Cost wise, it is a little more expensive than the microkeratome LASIK.
Keep in mind that no matter what you choose, we’ll work closely with you so that you can afford to get the LASIK eye surgery you need.
