Femtosecond LASIK: The Newest Technology in Eye Surgery

When it comes to eye surgery, advancements in technology have greatly enhanced the safety and precision of the procedures. One such advancement is femtosecond LASIK, a cutting-edge technology that is changing the way people undergo corrective eye surgery.

Femtosecond LASIK involves the use of a femtosecond laser, which emits extremely short pulses of laser energy to create a precise corneal flap before the laser reshapes the cornea to correct vision problems. This differs from traditional LASIK, where a mechanical tool called a microkeratome is used to create the corneal flap.

The benefits of femtosecond LASIK are clear. Because the laser used in femtosecond LASIK is more precise and accurate than a microkeratome, the resulting corneal flap is smoother and less prone to complications. This translates to a quicker and more comfortable recovery period for patients, as well as a lower risk of complications overall.
