Femto-LASIK (Femtosecond Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a technique used to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This advanced method offers high precision compared to traditional laser surgery techniques, minimal pain, and rapid recovery.
Steps of the Femto-LASIK Procedure:
Eye Preparation:
Anesthetic drops are applied to the eye to prevent any discomfort during the procedure.
A special instrument is used to stabilize the eye and prevent movement.
Creating a Thin Flap:
A femtosecond laser is employed to create an ultra-thin flap on the corneal surface.
The flap is gently lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue.
Reshaping the Cornea:
An excimer laser is used to precisely reshape the cornea according to the required vision correction.
The laser removes a small amount of corneal tissue to alter its shape, enhancing its ability to focus light on the retina.
Repositioning the Flap:
After reshaping the cornea, the flap is carefully repositioned, adhering naturally without the need for stitches.
Benefits of Femto-LASIK:
High Precision: The Femto-LASIK technique offers higher accuracy in creating the corneal flap and reshaping the cornea.
Less Pain: The use of laser technology reduces the pain compared to traditional surgical instruments.
Rapid Recovery: Patients can quickly regain their vision and return to daily activities in a short period.
Excellent Results: Femto-LASIK provides outstanding outcomes in improving vision and reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
