Femto LASIK Excimer Laser is used in refractive surgeries for the removal of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
Intralase Lasik Excimer Laser treatment consists of 3 basic steps.
Just like a fingerprint, the structure of the cornea (transparent part of the eye) varies according to the individual. With the help of the wavefront analysis, 3-dimensional mapping of visual defects is made. Differences other than the usual defects of the eye are also detected and the completely tailored treatment is planned.

Why Femto LASIK?
Corneal flap formation
With Femto LASIK, one of the most important steps in the elimination of eye defects is the creation of a lid (corneal flap) in the transparent part of the eye, or the evolve of the outer part by the Intralase Femtosecond Laser. With intralase, the corneal flap is created completely computer-controlled and without a knife.
Femtosecond laser technology allows the creation of a completely customized flap to the desired size.
The surgery gains speed up to 3 times.
There is a safe surgical environment created by maintaining the durability of the cornea and flap.
Astigmatic correction is also offered.
The treatment is for many patients with a thin corneal structure
Custom Excimer Laser Treatment
Intralase LASIK is the 5th generation in refractive surgeries because of its innovative features. This method is also known by NASA and the United States Army as an appropriate treatment method for astronauts and fighter pilots, and visual acuity is maximized.
It provides effective results up to -10 in myopia, +5 in hyperopia and -6 in astigmatism. Femto LASIK treatment allows the detection and follow-up of the smallest rotational movements of the eye, and the treatment is completed in an error-free and planned manner.
Difference between Femto LASIK and LASIK Methods
In LASIK method, the surgery is formed by a automatic knife called microkeratome. In LASIK method, the anatomy of the eye is effective when creating the flap. Intralase LASIK method, which is performed with intralase iFS femtosecond laser, allows to approach the tissue with maximum level and micron level security. In this way, the treatment is completely in accordance with the eye structure of the person and the patient's comfort of vision increases.
The LASIK method creates the flap in 30 seconds. In Intralase LASIK, this time goes down to 10 seconds.
For What other diseases is this Treatment Useful?
Femtosecond laser is also used in keratoplasty and canal preparation for rings used in keratoconus treatment.
Why Femto LASIK?
It is safer with the possibility of creating a computer controlled and knife-free flap.
It can be applied to patients with thinner corneas.
It can be applied to patients with higher visual impairment.
It provides astigmatic correction.
Minimizes the possibility of complications.
Increases visibility comfort.
