What is FemtoLASIK?
FemtoLASIK is a form of LASIK, that can correct nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism – by way of deploying a laser on the cornea.
The previous LASIK methods have involved a blade to create an opening on the corneal surface, but FemtoLASIK substitutes this for a femtosecond laser, and uses an excimer laser to correct the refractive condition itself.
This makes for a more precise procedure, one that outshines LASIK procedures of the past.

FemtoLASIK Procedure
STAGE ONE
A femtosecond laser creates a corneal flap.
STAGE TWO
The corneal flap is opened.
STAGE THREE
The excimer laser is deployed on the exposed corneal surface.
STAGE FOUR
The corneal flap is closed.

GENERAL CRITERIA FOR FEMTOLASIK
FemtoLASIK is eminently suitable for those who are highly nearsighted/myopic: between –1.00 diopters to –15.00 diopters; and for those who are astigmatic, up to a level of –5.00 diopters.
SUITABLE CANDIDATE FOR FEMTOLASIK
At least 18 years of age and above
Should not be pregnant or breastfeeding
Should have no history of eye disease.
