What is Femto-LASIK?
Femto-LASIK (Femtosecond Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is an advanced bladeless laser vision correction procedure that uses two highly precise lasers. A femtosecond laser creates an ultra-thin corneal flap, while an excimer laser reshapes the underlying cornea to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The flap is then repositioned naturally without stitches.
Conditions treated
Femto-LASIK is commonly used to correct:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness)
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
- Astigmatism
