In the modern FEMTO-LASIK method, the cornea is opened with a high-precision femtosecond laser. The operation of the laser is computer-controlled, the surgeon also has a microscope at his disposal, which guarantees maximum precision and selection of the diameter thickness of the separated corneal flap.
The flap is raised on a “hinge” so as to allow the cornea to undergo modeling with the excimer laser.
SmartSight is a state-of-the-art femtosecond laser treatment belonging to the so-called.
These methods are based on the fact that inside the intact cornea a so-called “flap” is created.
They rely on the fact that inside the intact cornea a so-called “lenticula” is created.
lenticula (a microlens created from a thin fragment 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
