Femto-LASIK: First Choice!
At the ALZ eye clinic, we perform between 2000 – 2500 LASIK
procedures every year.
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.
New: Femto- LASIK: The All-Laser
Procedure
Since 2005, every third LASIK surgery performed at our clinic utilized
Femto-LASIK. The modern, bladeless Intralase laser technology offers an
alternative to the microkeratome in creating the corneal flap during the
first step of the LASIK procedure. The IntraLase femtosecond laser replaces
the hand-held microkeratome blade with a silent, computer-guided laser.
The precision of the laser provides the patient with a greater assurance
of safety and excellent results.

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...
