In the modern FEMTO-LASIK method, the cornea is opened with a high-precision femtosecond laser. The operation of the laser is computer-controlled, and the surgeon also has a microscope at his disposal, which guarantees maximum precision and selection of the diameter of the thickness of the separated corneal flap. The flap is raised on a “hinge” so that it can undergo corneal modeling with an excimer laser.
SmartSight is a state-of-the-art femtosecond laser treatment belonging to the so-called “SmartSight”. free (without flap) methods. They rely on the fact that inside the intact cornea is created a so-called “corneal”. lenticula (a microlens created from a thin section of the cornea). A minimally invasive incision is then made for the approach. The intraocular lens can then be removed through this small opening. It is also possible to use the so-called. Static cyclorotation compensation.
The SMARTSIGHT procedure cannot be performed for medical reasons on the same day as the preoperative examination
