FEMTO LASIK

Femtosecond Laser Technology-Increasing Safety and Predictability of LASIK
In lasik laser reshape the cornea by an excimer laser to correct the refractive error. With a mechanical microkeratome the corneal flap can be made. Femtosecond Lasers presently have been developed to create corneal flaps. Femtosecond Lasers have so many advantages such as:

Highly Precise Flaps:
Femto Lasers help to save corneal tissue,and can get very exact thin flaps with the Femtosecond Laser.It show that Femtosecond Flaps have a standard deviation of 2.5 microns in comparison to40 microns with the microkeratome.

Customizable Flaps:
Laser help the eye doctor to plan the accurate flap characteristics, hinge location, hinge size and angle, flap diameter, flap thickness, and even the angle of the side cut. Vertical side cuts let the flap to lock into place in an effective way.

Improved Safety:
Femto-LASIK almost eliminates the most rigorous microkeratome complications, such as anterior chamber entry, infection, DLK and buttonholes.

Wider Range of Treatment:
Lasik indication tend to increase as the lasik eye surgeon  is no limited by the K Reading of the patient and even the thickness of the cornea. 

                                   
Sterility:
Femtosecond lasers prevent the risk of reuse, and consequent cross-infection,and the process becomes much more aseptic.
