Like all LASIK surgeries, the femto-LASIK vision correction procedure is to drop laser beams on the cornea to reshape it and therefore to correct vision defects.

But what is unique about this process is that it depends entirely on the laser.

Without the need to use the microkeratome device, which is a precise surgical scalpel used in the process of correcting vision with LASIK.

The femto-Lasik operation to correct vision is used in certain cases that the traditional LASIK process cannot treat, and those cases are:

Cases of severe myopia.

Cases that have a thin cornea.

The femto-Lasik operation consists of two parts, each of which uses a different laser device,

Femtosecond laser device.

The femto-Lasik device is used to lift a thin part of the surface of the cornea, and this stage is also called making the cornea.

The LASIK device is used to shine laser beams on a specific part deep in the cornea to correct vision.
