Femto LASIK has revolutionized refractive surgery, offering a completely blade-free approach to correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. If you’re considering life without glasses, here’s your comprehensive guide.
What Makes Femto LASIK Different?
Traditional LASIK used a mechanical blade (microkeratome) to create the corneal flap. Femto LASIK replaces this with a femtosecond laser — delivering ultra-fast pulses of light that create a precise, uniform flap with micron-level accuracy.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates are typically 18 years or older with a stable prescription for at least one year, adequate corneal thickness, and no significant eye diseases. A comprehensive pre-operative evaluation will determine your suitability.
The Procedure
The entire procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes for both eyes. The actual laser treatment lasts only about 30 seconds per eye. Most patients notice dramatically improved vision within hours.
Recovery
Most patients return to work within 24–48 hours. Vision continues to improve and stabilize over the first few weeks. Follow-up visits ensure optimal healing and results.
