Femto LASIK Surgery in Mumbai
Femto LASIK surgery, a revolutionary advancement in eye care, is designed to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Combining femtosecond laser technology with traditional LASIK techniques, it offers a safer, more precise, and minimally invasive approach to vision correction.
LASIK stands for LASER Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. LASIK Laser vision correction is performed using the excimer laser, a computer-controlled “cool” ultraviolet beam of light. The laser sculpts the cornea into a shape that allows light to focus more directly on the retina, which eliminates or reduces a variety of eye abnormalities. LASIK operations are done at Doctor Eye Institute Andheri (West), Mumbai. Doctor Eye Institute has the Best eye specialists & Lasik surgeon. We have over 20+ years of experience in eyesight restoration in Mumbai. Lasik surgery is a three-step technique.
How Femto LASIK Surgery Works
What is Femto Laser Z8?
A Femto-second Laser (Z8) is a high-frequency laser, which uses ultra-short pulses of invisible light. It is designed to gently separate the outer layers of the cornea, creating a customized flap for each patient, precisely, safely, and painlessly. Femto Laser helps the Surgeon to create uniplanar flaps. It can also be any size hinge and flap edge of any angle for better apposition post-operative.
Based on clinical experience from over 1.5 million successful Z-LASIK procedures, the FEMTO systems stand out as the femtosecond lasers with a remarkably low complication rate.
What is an Excimer-Laser?
The Schwind AMARIS Excimer Laser is used to precisely ablate the corneal stroma. The laser evaporates microscopic amounts of corneal tissue to reshape the front of the eye, enabling the eye to focus light more accurately. The excimer laser exactly targets the desired area without causing damage to the surrounding areas.
