The LASIK method evolved from the 1960s\u00a0<\/span>until now<\/span>\u00a0and there are three generations of commonly used LASIK methods<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first is Photorefractive Keratectomy, or PRK, is a type of eye surgery to correct myopia and cylinders by making a flap on the surface of the cornea with a scalpel.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly,\u00a0FemtoLASIK\u00a0is a type of eye surgery that uses a femtosecond laser to create a flap on the surface of the cornea and is followed by an excimer laser to correct refractive abnormalities. This makes the\u00a0FemtoLASIK\u00a0procedure more accurate and safer than the previous LASIK method.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6040″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”none” el_class=”hide-on-mobile”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” gap=”10″ content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1566291758088{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9182″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”none” el_class=”mobile-top”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]The latest LASIK technology,\u00a0ReLEx\u00ae SMILE (Refractive Lenticule Extraction, Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)<\/a> is the latest LASIK method that can correct refractive abnormalities without the need to make a corneal flap like the previous method.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The healing process is much faster<\/a> and the action only takes a few seconds. After completion of surgery, vision will reach 80% and continue up to 100% within a few days. *<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” gap=”10″ video_bg=”yes” video_bg_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I4gmueT1nYY” bg_type=”grad” fadeout_row=”fadeout_row_value” enable_overlay=”enable_overlay_value” overlay_pattern=”01.png” multi_color_overlay=”uvc-multi-color-bg” css=”.vc_custom_1566290703364{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;}” bg_grad=”background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #E3E3E3));background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#E3E3E3 0%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#E3E3E3 0%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top,#E3E3E3 0%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#E3E3E3 0%);background: linear-gradient(top,#E3E3E3 0%);”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”for patients who have LASIK eye procedures at Ciputra SMG Eye Clinic, we provide a Lifetime Protection service, a lifetime lasik guarantee with the aim of helping to maintain your vision as good as possible at all times.” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”blockquote-first”][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”LIFETIME PROTECTION” shape=”round” color=”danger” size=”lg” align=”center” css_animation=”none” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fciputrasmgeyeclinic.com%2Fen%2Flifetime-protection%2F|”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” gap=”10″ css=”.vc_custom_1566290631121{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]<\/p>\n

FemtoLASIK<\/a><\/h3>\n

Procedure<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The femtosecond laser is used to make a very thin flap (around 10mm) through millions of tiny laser spots directed at the surface of the cornea. This whole procedure uses laser technology without a scalpel. When the flap layer on the cornea has been completed, the flap is opened slowly and the eye is ready for the second step.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Then proceed with excimer laser for a few seconds. After that, the flap is closed again and will stick by itself.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
