FEMTO LASIK (ALL-LASER LASIK)
LASIK laser vision correction with the use of a FEMTOsecond laser is the most technically advanced refractive treatment offered to you in our practice. During the first stage of the procedure, the corneal flap is created with the most modern Ziemer LDV Z8® FEMTOsecond laser. Afterwards, the cornea is modeled to correct the existing sight defect using a Bausch & Lomb Technolas® excimer laser.The final stage of the procedure is the closing of the corneal flap.
The use of the FEMTOsecond laser increases the precision of the resulting corneal flap, which directly influences convalescence time and the range of defects that can be corrected. The unquestionable advantage of the FEMTO LASIK method is the reduction of postsurgical pain and discomfort, the shortening of the eye healing period after the procedure and a significant increase in the safety of the procedure.
Laser vision correction is a quick, safe and practically painless method of getting rid of a vision defect. The patient can see well the day after the procedure, while slight fluctuations in vision may persist for about a month. Continuous improvement and stabilization of vision occurs up to about 6 months after the procedure.
CAUTION
In order to properly qualify for refractive surgery, it is necessary to stop wearing contact lenses for a minimum period of 2 weeks prior to the examination.
All procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia. The patient cannot drive right after the procedure and it is also recommended to come accompanied.
After each type of refractive treatment, for about a month you should avoid strenuous physical activity, swimming, sunbathing, and staying in a dry and smoky environment. Side effects that are extremely rare may occur and persist for up to several months after the procedure are first of all: dry eyes, decreased vision of contrasts in dim lighting and glare during night driving.
