FemtoLASIK, a new technology is making LASIK safer and better. LASIK is the nation’s most popular vision correction procedure. The surgery has always been a two-step process. In the first step, the surgeon makes a thin flap with femtosecond laser and folds it back for the second step, during which a device called an excimer laser is used to ablate corneal tissue for vision correction.
For many people eligible for LASIK who have held off on having the procedure due to the fear of the blade and/or complications, here are some great reasons to consider having it now. You can ask your ophthalmologist to use Femto laser instead of a blade, the safest option now available for LASIK.
We found that in addition to fewer complications, more patients achieved vision better than 20/20.
