Overview:

FEMTO LASIK is a revolutionary laser eye surgery that offers greater precision and safety for vision correction. At ISWARYA HOSPITAL in OMR, Chennai, we utilize state-of-the-art femtosecond laser technology to provide advanced treatment for refractive errors, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. This bladeless procedure offers exceptional accuracy, faster healing, and reduced risks, making it a popular choice for patients looking to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

What Is FEMTO LASIK?

FEMTO LASIK, also called bladeless LASIK, is a cutting-edge procedure that utilizes a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap without the need for a mechanical blade.The femtosecond laser allows for greater precision, ensuring that the corneal flap is created with exact thickness and shape, reducing the risk of complications.

Once the flap is created, an excimer laser precisely reshapes the cornea to correct vision by addressing refractive errors.The use of femtosecond technology enhances safety and precision, making it a highly effective solution for vision correction.

Why FEMTO LASIK is Done:

FEMTO LASIK is used to treat common refractive vision problems, including:

• Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.
• Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Difficulty seeing nearby objects clearly.
• Astigmatism: A vision problem caused by an unevenly shaped cornea, leading to blurred or distorted sight.

This procedure is ideal for patients looking for a highly accurate, minimally invasive solution to correct their vision and reduce their dependence on corrective lenses.

Benefits of FEMTO LASIK:

• Bladeless Precision: The use of a femtosecond laser allows for the precise creation of the corneal flap, enhancing the safety and outcome of the surgery.
• Quick Recovery: Most patients experience a significant improvement in their vision within a day or two and can return to normal activities shortly after the procedure.
• Reduced Risk of Complications: The advanced laser technology used in FEMTO LASIK reduces the risk of flap-related complications and improves the overall success rate.
• Customizable Treatment: FEMTO LASIK can be tailored to each patient’s unique eye anatomy, ensuring the most accurate vision correction possible.

How the FEMTO LASIK Procedure Works:

At ISWARYA HOSPITAL, FEMTO LASIK is performed by highly skilled ophthalmologists using the latest femtosecond and excimer laser technology. The procedure involves the following steps:

1. Corneal Flap Creation: The femtosecond laser is used to create a thin, precise flap in the cornea. This step is bladeless, reducing discomfort and enhancing precision.
2. Laser Reshaping: Once the flap is created, an excimer laser is applied to reshape the cornea. This procedure adjusts how light is focused on the retina, improving overall vision.
3. Flap Repositioning: After the cornea is reshaped, the corneal flap is carefully repositioned to protect the treated area as it heals naturally.

The procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes for both eyes and is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring the patient remains comfortable throughout.

Recovery and Aftercare:

Patients can expect rapid recovery following FEMTO LASIK. Vision typically improves within the first 24-48 hours, though it may take a few weeks for the full effects to stabilize. Patients may experience mild discomfort or dryness in the eyes, but these symptoms generally resolve quickly.

After the procedure, our ophthalmologists will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including the use of medicated eye drops and follow-up appointments to monitor healing. Most patients can return to their everyday routines just a few days after the surgery.
