Femto Lasik
The Femto Lasik on ViSuMax is an advanced Next Generation development of the classical Lasik. It is a safe technology for patients suffering from short-sightedness, far-sightedness as well as from corneal curvature. The high-precision Femtoseconds Zeiss ViSuMax Next Generation laser create the thin corneal flap under constant IOP.
All FEMTO laser machines are not the same
Previously, in Pakistan, eye hospitals performed Femto LASIK with high-pressure Ziemer Femto machines. However, at Smile Laser Eye Centre Multan, we now perform pressure-free LASIK using Femto ViSuMax, which is the only next-generation Femto laser machine in the world. Unlike older methods, ViSuMax uses a unique technique called corneal applanation to keep the IOP (IntraOcular Pressure) of the eye stable during the laser procedure. As a result, this approach protects the eye from undue harmful pressures and delivers 100% damage-free results for a lifetime.
To put it in perspective, the normal reading of IOP in a healthy eye is around 15mmHg. In contrast, no other Femto laser in the world is advanced enough to keep the IOP stable during the procedure. Instead, all other Femto machines use planner applanation, which exerts dangerously high pressures (up to 300mmHg) during Femto LASIK. Therefore, the only truly advanced and 100% safest Femto technology in the world is the Zeiss Femto ViSuMax.
Consequently, if you want to ensure complete safety, always ask for ViSuMax before undergoing any eye laser treatment
The advantages of Femto Lasik
- More safety and higher precision with the Femtoseconds laser Zeiss ViSuMax
- 100% SAFEST
- Precise and accurate flap
- The Visumax flap forms no tissue bridges, making the raising of the flap simplest
- Only advanced Femto method maintaining constant IOP
- No risk of increased floaters due to pressure free VisuMax
- Soft and fast intervention
- Treatment is possible at an advanced stage of defective vision
- Treatment is possible with scarse corneal density
- Zeiss ViSuMax creates the most superior thin and even flap therefore the FEMTO Visumax LASIK is also suitable for patients with very thin corneas.
- MEL® 90 excimer laser unique features like the FLEXIQUENCE® switch function (250 Hz / 500 Hz), the Triple-A ablation profile and the outstanding intra-operative ablation speed make the effective treatment range between -15D to +8D with 6 Cyl giving the highest treatment options for any type of number with maximum tissue saving in the world
Tissue Saving with Triple-A algorithm
The Femtoseconds laser ViSuMax® of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, employed by the Smile Laser Eye Center allows the surgeon within a few seconds to make a microscopic laser incision in the cornea thus creating the flap. The most advanced Triple-A algorithm equips the MEL90 excimer laser. Triple-A functionality gives the highest level of tissue saving. With this laser system it is possible to treat defective vision in a precise and tissue saving manner.
Femto Lasik Treatment Step by Step
Preparation:
Contact lenses influence the form and shape of your cornea. Please do not use the contact lenses 3 days before your treatment.
The morning of the laser treatment:
Start your day with your usual routines. Cleanse the eye zone carefully. On the day of treatment do not use cosmetic products such as facial cream, make-up or perfume. You can eat and drink normally.
Laser treatment:
It is an outpatient treatment and takes around 12 minutes for both eyes. A bit of excitement and tension is completely normal. Before treatment, we check all data before anesthetizing the first eye with eye drops. The Femtosecond laser VisuMax® generates the corneal lid called the flap for both the eyes. The surgeon shapes the cornea with the Excimer laser MEL90 to obtained optimum refractive power. An eye-tracker tracks your eye movement during surgery. The tracker controls the laser so that it perfectly positions it for minimal eye movement. The next step moves the flap back into its old position. The flap closes automatically within seconds.
There is no need for other post-surgical measures. The doctor do not allow you to drive a car after the treatment for a few hours. You can use the public transport as well.
After the treatment:
Be careful not to rub your eyes after the treatment for 3 to 4 days. Though the flap closes quickly the cornea has not yet achieved its previous strength. Next day you can go back to work and undergo sports activities. Swimming and Makeup should be avoided for 3 weeks. Should you have any question you can always call us.
