Yazar: Op. Dr. Gökay Günay
FemtoLASIK is one of the most commonly performed laser eye treatments today.
Many people ask:
“What is FemtoLASIK, and could it be a suitable option for me?”
FemtoLASIK is considered one of the more advanced forms of LASIK treatment.
How Does FemtoLASIK Work?
In FemtoLASIK, the thin corneal flap is created using femtosecond laser technology.
An excimer laser is then applied to correct the refractive error.
This method has been widely used around the world for many years.
Who May Be Suitable for FemtoLASIK?
In suitable candidates, it may be used to treat:
- Myopia
- Hyperopia
- Astigmatism
These refractive errors may be treated.
However, it may not be suitable for every patient.
FemtoLASIK or SMILE Pro?
The answer varies from person to person.
SMILE Pro may offer advantages for some patients, while FemtoLASIK may be a more suitable option for others.
The determining factor is not the technology itself, but the structure of the eye.
Conclusion
FemtoLASIK is a well-established and widely used laser treatment.
However, detailed measurements and an individualised assessment are required to determine the most appropriate method.
Choosing the right method is fundamental to achieving a successful outcome.
