Femto-LASIK: First Choice!
At the EuroEyes alz eye clinic, we perform between 2000 – 2500 LASIK
procedures every year. For the vast majority of theses LASIK procedures, a femtosecond laser is used for corneal flap preparation. LASIK can be used to correct 90 % of all refractive errors; making it
the most widely used refractive surgical procedure today. In general,
LASIK is recommended for the treatment of nearsightedness up to -10 diopter,
farsightedness up to +3 diopter and astigmatism up to 3 diopter.
Femto-LASIK or "all laser LASIK"
The modern, bladeless femtosecond laser technology offers an
alternative to the microkeratome in creating the corneal flap during the
first step of the LASIK procedure. The precision of the femtosecond laser provides the patient with a greater assurance
of safety and excellent results. More...
The overwhelmingly positive results that we experience using Femto-LASIK
make this procedure our number one recommendation for surgical correction.
Latest technologies
We offer our patients real choices from among the latest technologies
in LASIK surgery. Not only do they choose whether to have a laser or traditional
microkeratome create the corneal flap in the first step of LASIK surgery,
they can choose from three different ablation techniques for the second
step as well. Our surgeons can perform the standard, manual laser correction
or use the computer-guided TopoLink or the Aberrometer (wavefront) technology
to create customized ablations. More...
