When one wants to undergo surgery to remove glasses and one does not want any blade near the eye, femto lasik is the right choice.
This is also called blade-free lasik, as in this the femto laser is used to fashion a small flap and then an excimer laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal stroma. No knife is used, and the corneal flap is replaced and this ensures crystal clear vision.
Any patient who can undergo Lasik can undergo femto lasik. Myopia, small hypermetropia, or astigmatism can be corrected by this lasik. The surgery time is usually 10 minutes and recovery time is usually 1 day. The outcome is good and most patients can regain about 6/6 vision and freedom from glasses.
The advantages are it is bladeless and hence no machine is used. The corneal flap is very predictable. There is a reduced risk of corneal complications like flap loss or abrasions. A thinner flap can be made with faster healing times. Transient light sensitivity can also occur otherwise complications are very less.
Overall it is a very safe procedure and adds a lot to the quality of life of the patient.
