FEMTOLASIK


The most advanced type of laser vision correction is Femtolasik procedure, which is faster than the surface treatment, leads to immediate visual recovery, without any pain or recovery time. The femtosecond laser creates millions of air bubbles beneath the surface of the cornea within seconds and a flap is created. The flap is easily lifted by the treating doctor and Excimer laser is then performed to re shape the surface of the cornea. The flap is then put back into place and is seals by itself.



ADVANTAGES OF FEMTOLASIK PROCEDURE INCLUDE


  • Immediate visual recovery using the latest technology
  • Fast, safe, predictable and efficient
  • No absence from work required post treatment
  • Completely painless recovery

  • Have not had significant change in refraction for one year prior to the procedure date
  • Your eyes no longer tolerate wearing contact lenses
  • Want to see clearly without your glasses or contact lenses

COMPREHENSIVE ELIGIBILITY TEST (PRE -LASER)


A major step towards the road to surgery is the detailed, comprehensive eligibility test. Our team of experts will determine the power to be treated and consider whether you are a suitable candidate or not, and if so, will indicate which treatment modalities best suit your requirements in order to achieve the best possible outcome which is that of perfect vision without glasses or contact lenses. The test consists of various diagnostic examinations and is completely painless.


IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE THE PRE- LASER


  • Remember that if you have a previous ophthalmological evidence or a prescription for glasses, bring them to the test
  • The whole examination takes about 2 hours
  • To ascertain the refraction and examine the fundus correctly, dilating eye drops are added, resulting in a slightly blurred vision after the test, so please avoid driving for 3 hours immediately following the examination
  • Bring with you any medication that you are taking
