The LASIK methods in the past 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.<\/p>\n

This makes for a more precise procedure, one that outshines LASIK procedures of the past.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator style=”dotted” border_width=”2″][vc_custom_heading text=”What is FemtoLASIK procedure like?” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24px|text_align:left|line_height:30px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1527135299391{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Stage 1: A femtosecond laser creates a corneal flap.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stage 2: The corneal flap is opened.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stage 3: The excimer laser is deployed on the exposed corneal surface.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stage 4: The corneal flap is closed.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator style=”dotted” border_width=”2″][vc_custom_heading text=”3.

You will be topically anasthesized with eyedrops prior to the procedure. No needles are involved, nor is general anasthesia. You will be conscious for the entire duration of the procedure.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator style=”dotted” border_width=”2″][vc_custom_heading text=”4.

  1. Subjective and objective refraction<\/li>\n
  2. Intraocular pressure<\/li>\n

  4. Production and quality of tears<\/li>\n
