Femtosecond Lasik
At work, play or to look your best, Femtosecond Lasik may just be what you are looking for
Femtosecond LASIK (Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is the most commonly performed refractive procedure which involves reshaping of cornea with laser. Also called Bladeless LASIK or Blade free LASIK, your surgeon here uses two types of lasers – first, an ultra-fast femtosecond laser to create a thin flap on the surface of the eye, a “door”, through which he thenuses an excimer laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue to correct your vision. This flap or the door, is then returned to its original position, and your eyes heal on their own.
It is considered to be the most effective, precise, predictable, safe and patient friendlyoption for laser vision correction. It is suitable for patients with mild to moderate amount of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

The Femto-LASIK procedure
The femtosecond laser is used for the initial part of the LASIK surgery when the corneal flap is prepared. The surgeon then switches to an excimer laser to achieve the corneal ablation and correct the visual disorder.
A special contact glass is placed on the eye for the laser pulses to pass through and focus into the cornea. The surgeon uses a microscope to follow the progress of flap creation.

After the cut is completed, the contact glass is removed. Using a fine instrument, the flap is folded back exposing the stromal bed of the cornea.

At the point, the excimer laser is used for the corneal ablation to correct the nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism. When the ablation is completed, the flap is folded back and it adheres tightly to the stromal bed without the need for sutures.
