What is FEMTO-LASIK?

FEMTO-LASIK (Femtosecond LASIK) is a modern evolution of conventional LASIK that uses two lasers instead of a mechanical blade:
A femtosecond laser creates a thin, precise corneal flap
An excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct refractive error
This bladeless approach improves safety, comfort, and precision.

Technology Used at OPTIMAX
We use the SCHWIND AMARIS® excimer laser combined with Ziemer FEMTO LDV™ femtosecond laser for high-definition outcomes:
Ultra-thin, low-pressure flap creation
Intelligent eye tracking & fast ablation speed
High safety profile, tissue-conserving algorithm

Final treatment recommendation is determined during your consultation.
Key Benefits:
Bladeless and precise flap creation
Enhanced comfort and reduced flap complications
Rapid visual recovery
Treats a wide range of prescriptions

Who Can Benefit from  FEMTO-LASIK?

You may be suitable for FEMTO-LASIK if you:
Are 18 years or older with stable prescription
Have myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
Have adequate corneal thickness
Prefer a fast-recovery laser option
A full clinical assessment is needed to confirm eligibility.

Who Is Not Suitable for FEMTO-LASIK?

Have thin corneas or irregular topography
