Femto LASIK at Vibhavadi Hospital: Blade-Free LASIK Technology for Clear and Safe Vision
Femto LASIK, or “blade-free LASIK,” is a modern surgical technology for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It uses a high-precision femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap instead of the traditional microkeratome blade. This results in a safer procedure, smoother incision, faster recovery, and clear vision from the very first day after surgery.
Steps of Femto LASIK
-
Corneal Flap Creation with Femtosecond Laser
The surgeon uses a femtosecond laser, which emits pulses at the speed of one quadrillionth of a second, to precisely separate the corneal layer without affecting surrounding tissues. -
Corneal Reshaping with Excimer Laser
After lifting the corneal flap, an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea according to each individual’s prescription, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina. -
Repositioning the Corneal Flap
Once reshaping is complete, the flap is placed back in its original position. The cornea naturally heals without the need for stitches.
Key Advantages of Femto LASIK
-
Blade-Free, High Safety
Reduces risks associated with blades, such as uneven incisions or post-surgical complications. -
Smooth Incision, Fast Recovery
The laser’s precision creates a small, smooth incision that heals quickly and minimizes the risk of dry eyes or irritation. -
Rapid Visual Improvement
Most patients can see immediately after surgery, with vision becoming even clearer the next day. -
Ideal for Those with Limited Recovery Time
Perfect for individuals who cannot take long breaks from daily activities. -
Lower Risk of Infection
Using a laser instead of a blade reduces the risk of infection or inflammation from the flap creation process.
Who is Femto LASIK Suitable For?
-
Individuals with nearsightedness, congenital farsightedness, or astigmatism
-
Those who want minimal downtime and a quick return to daily life
-
People with no high-risk activities or occupations that may cause eye trauma (e.g., pilots, soldiers, boxers, etc.)
-
Those with little to no dry eye symptoms
