FEMTO LASIK: Precision Laser Vision Correction
FEMTO LASIK is a cutting-edge, bladeless laser vision correction procedure that uses a femtosecond laser to create a precise corneal flap, allowing for customized reshaping of the cornea to correct refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Step-by-Step Explanation:
Flap Creation: A femtosecond laser is used to create a thin, precise corneal flap, allowing access to the corneal tissue beneath.
Laser Reshaping: An excimer laser reshapes the exposed corneal tissue, correcting the refractive error by precisely sculpting the cornea.
Flap Repositioning: The corneal flap is carefully repositioned without sutures, naturally adhering back to the cornea and initiating the healing process.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Age: 18 years or older with stable vision for at least a year
- Refractive Error: Suitable for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism correction
- Corneal Thickness: Suitable for patients with adequate corneal thickness
- General Eye Health: Free from certain eye diseases or conditions that could affect healing
Benefits:
- Bladeless Procedure: Performed entirely with laser, eliminating the need for blades
- High Precision: Highly accurate corneal flap creation for optimal results
- Fast Recovery: Many patients experience improved vision within 24 hours
- Reduced Risk of Dry Eye: Lower incidence of dry eye compared to traditional LASIK
- Safe and Effective: Established track record of safety and high success rates
Potential Risks:
- Over or Under-Correction: Small chance of vision not being fully corrected, possibly requiring further enhancement
- Temporary Visual Disturbances: Some patients may experience glare or halos initially, which usually improve over time
- Flap-Related Complications: Rare risks associated with flap healing
- Infection: As with any procedure, a minimal risk of infection (very rare)
Recovery Process:
- First 24 Hours: Rest and avoid rubbing or straining the eyes
- 1-2 Days: Most patients can return to daily activities, including work
- 1 Week: Resumption of normal activities, with certain restrictions
- 1-3 Months: Vision stabilizes, with most improvements noticed within the first month
