Femtolasik allows for the correction of vision defects:
- Myopia (nearsightedness) from -0.50 to -13.00D
- Hyperopia (farsightedness) up to +6.00D
- Astigmatism up to Cyl. 6.00D
- Presbyopia correction (multifocal or monovision)
- Higher-order aberrations, irregular astigmatisms, corneal inhomogeneities
FemtoLASIK
– what is it?
FemtoLASIK is an advanced version of the traditional LASIK method, allowing for faster healing and fewer “light effects” during recovery, currently the most commonly chosen method by surgeons.
The difference lies in the way the cornea is prepared for the procedure – the use of a microkeratome blade for cutting is replaced by an exceptionally precise, computer-controlled femtosecond laser.
iLASIK – what is it?
iLASIK is the most personalized FemtoLASIK procedure available worldwide.
Patients who choose iLASIK experience very fast healing, regain stable vision earlier, and suffer less from dry eye syndrome than with less personalized methods of laser eye correction.
Most of our patients function normally already on the day after the procedure. iLASIK is also the only method of laser eye correction accepted by NASA and the US military and navy.
The FemtoLASIK method– what are its main benefits?
- You will recover faster and with fewer discomforts – in FemtoLASIK, we create a flap with precisely defined shape, dimensions, and depth. This reduces the intensity of transient light-related effects or the severity of dry eye symptoms.
- We won’t be “cutting” your eyes with a microkeratome blade. This entails a lower risk of complications. While traditional LASIK procedures are safe, with FemtoLASIK, we achieve even lower risk of inflammation and faster stabilization of visual acuity.
- We will be able to correct very high refractive defects for you, even with thin corneas and large pupil diameters. Performing the procedure with two lasers provides high predictability and precision. We can program the femtosecond laser to create a very thin flap with a specific diameter and hinge position. As a result, we have more corneal tissue available for correction by the excimer laser, with minimal interference with the eye’s epithelium.
- We will also be able to correct very minor refractive defects for you. If your prescription is not high, but your work, hobby, or sport requires sharp vision, we can correct single diopters.
Laser eye correction using the femtoLASIK method
If you have vision problems, you’ve probably considered laser correction. Currently, the gold standard in ophthalmology is the modern method called femtoLASIK.
It’s an updated version of the older LASIK method, but what’s the difference? It’s primarily much safer and more effective.
Postoperative discomfort is significantly reduced, and the healing process is faster, allowing you to return to normal life in a really short time.
