Femto LASIK

What is Femto?

Femto LASIK is an advanced laser vision correction procedure designed to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Unlike conventional LASIK, Femto LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap instead of a mechanical blade. A second laser then reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism.

The procedure is performed with advanced laser technology and is generally quick, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort during treatment.

Why Choose Femto?

Femto LASIK offers several potential benefits:

• Blade-free procedure – The corneal flap is created using a precise femtosecond laser rather than a mechanical blade.

• High precision – Laser technology allows accurate control of flap creation and corneal reshaping.

• Quick procedure – The treatment itself usually takes only a short time.

• Fast visual recovery – Many patients experience noticeable improvement in vision soon after the procedure, although recovery varies from person to person.

• Reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses – Femto LASIK can provide long-term correction of common refractive errors for suitable candidates.

 

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Femto?

You may be a good candidate for Femto LASIK if you:

• Are generally healthy and have healthy eyes.

• Have a stable glasses or contact lens prescription.

• Have sufficient corneal thickness and suitable corneal shape.

• Have a refractive error that can be treated with laser vision correction.

• Have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure.

• Are willing to follow your ophthalmologist's instructions before and after surgery.

A comprehensive eye examination is essential before treatment. Your ophthalmologist will assess your corneal thickness, corneal shape, eye health, prescription, and overall suitability to determine whether Femto LASIK is appropriate for you.

 

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery after Femto LASIK varies from patient to patient. Following your ophthalmologist's aftercare instructions is important for a smooth recovery.

• Initial discomfort: Mild discomfort, dryness, light sensitivity, or a gritty sensation may occur during the first few days and can usually be managed with prescribed medications and eye drops.

• Gradual improvement: Vision generally improves progressively over the following days and weeks. Some fluctuations in vision may occur during the healing period.

• Use prescribed eye drops: Patients should use all prescribed eye drops exactly as directed and attend scheduled follow-up appointments.

• Protect your eyes: Avoid rubbing your eyes during the healing period and protect your eyes from bright sunlight and UV exposure by wearing appropriate sunglasses.

• Return to work: Many patients can return to work within several days to about a week, depending on their occupation and individual recovery.

• Long-term stabilization: Visual clarity can continue to stabilize over the following weeks or months.
