Femto-LASIK

Regular LASIK surgery involves creating a thin flap on the surface of the eye (the cornea) using a tiny blade. This flap is gently lifted to allow access to the deeper layers of the cornea. A special laser, called an excimer laser, is then used to reshape the cornea and correct your vision. The flap is then carefully placed back in position, where it naturally heals.

With Femto-LASIK, a more modern technique, no blade is used. Instead, a precise laser (called a femtosecond laser) creates the flap. This method can be more accurate and gentle on the eye.

We’ve been performing Femto-LASIK since 2010. In certain cases—especially for patients with strong farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism—Femto-LASIK is our preferred approach, offering excellent results and safety.
