Laser eye surgery has been a consistently changing field over the past 23 years. The very peak of solutions out there is Femtosecond Laser Eye Surgery that provides unrivaled safety and accuracy and reliability in Laser Eye Surgery. We believe that Laser eye surgery can provide my patients with the ideal possible end result with a quick and pain-free treatment.

Scraping the front side surface film of cells off the cornea, then applying lasik procedure on the layer underneath is called PRK or photo-refractive kerarectomy, and this was the very first technique used in Laser vision correction. It is a fitting treatment for small-scale myopic or shortsighted corrections. There is on the other hand considerable pain following the operation for several days and the final stabilisation of vision will take six to eight weeks.

The following stage in the evolution of Laser Vision Correction was LASIK, wherein a partially thick flap is created in the cornea with a blade known as a microkeratome. By retaining the front surface layer of cell, the restoration of vision is accelerated, usually 1-2 days, and the procedure is painless after the procedure. The obstacle of LASIK performed with a microkeratome blade is the chance of creating an irregular flap arising from the procedure like a button-hole flap. If this develops the laser treatment can not be conducted. The depth of the flap is also fairly unpredictable. There is a rare complication of LASIK surgery called ectasia, in which the cornea becomes unstable and bulges forward over time, extreme cases requiring a corneal transplant to rectify. Making too profound a flap increases the risk of ectasia.

The best technique to perform Laser Eye Surgery is to make use of a laser, referred to as a Femtosecond Laser, to produce the flap on the cornea as an alternative to a blade. There are numerous merits to this. The thickness of the flap is far less in a Femtosecond laser made flap ?n contrast to that produced with a blade, this substantially lessens the possibility of the uncommon ectasisa hazard I described before. As the laser makes a vertical cut on the side on the flap, when this is repositioned the flap profile sits more precisely which results in more desirable quality vision. The danger of having an abnormally cut flap is also avoided.

The World's Most Advanced Laser System for Laser Eye Surgeryusing a Femtosecond Laser is the Alcon Refractive Suite. It features all the features provided by Femtosecond laser vision correction plus benefits that make it finer quality than other femtosecond LASIK systems. It is the fastest Femtosecond laser in the world, allowing the best achievable safety profile and the most secure treatment for the patient. It is the fastest Excimer laser in the world as well; the laser that actually does the reshaping. A swifter treatment means a more exact treatment, because there is less dehydration of the corneal bed in the course of the procedure,which results in in remarkable results. The technique also has the World's Fastest Eye Tracker, ensuring the solution consistently will go exactly where it is supposed to.
