Blade free Laser Eye Surgery provides the peak of technology for LASIK eye surgery. This has allowed laser eye surgery to attain the highest degrees of precision, comfort and wellbeing for subjects. In Blade free LASIK, the corneal flap is created by means of a Femtosecond Laser instead of a Microkeratome (an oscillating blade) that is used in regular Lasik surgery.

Listed here are only some of the reasons blade-free LASIK is superior to conventional Blade (Microkeratome) LASIK:

1. Blade-free Laser Eye Surgery creates a perfect flap on every occasion; this doesn't happen when using a Microkeratome. A Microkeratome can sometimes result in a ‘button hole' flap that does not make it possible for treatment to proceed and has a risk of scarring the cornea. Implementing a Femtosecond Laser all but eliminates this danger. A perfect flap means superior vision.

2. The thinner flaps made with a Femtosecond Laser are less risky in the long term when compared to to blade flaps as the cornea post op has greater stability as it's wider. This reduces the danger of a consequence called Ectasia, where the cornea can bulge forward after a period of time, often times needing a corneal transplant to fix.

3. Blade free (Femtosecond Laser) LASIK routinely outperforms blade (Microkeratome) lasers in medical studies reviewing visual quality. The flap profile and level of smoothness is superior, providing vision as good as or better than that with eyeglasses.

A flap made by means of a blade is finer peripherally and thicker centrally, this unevenness could blur vision. A Femtosecond laser (blade free) created flap is a absolutely consistent thickness across its entire diameter, lessening the chances of micro-wrinkles, the perfect flap profile providing the best possible vision in LASIK.

4. Blade free (Femtosecond Laser) Laser Eye Surgery facilitates the location of the flap to be created perfectly, an accomplishment impossible with a Microkeratome. The surgeon provides a digital image of the flap position superimposed on top of the patient's cornea and before creating it he may change and improve the flap position so it is perfectly centered every single time, thus giving superior vision and safeness.

5. A Femtosecond flap is made with a vertical side cut, which is once again a feat not doable with a blade or Microkeratome flap. This hugely cuts down on the prospect of a complication called epithelial ingrowth, in which the surface tissue of the cornea get seeded underneath the flap. It also will allow for a better flap profile as the flap slides back downward similar to a little manhole cover.

Laser Eye Surgery has changed in a thrilling new direction together with the introduction of blade-free femtosecond laser flaps and it is finally delivering on the guarantee of the most trustworthy and most accurate course of action attainable.
