Femtosecond laser
At SwissLaser, we use the Swiss Leonardo Da Vinci LDV Z4 femtolaser from Ziemer, a leading Swiss manufacturer of femtosecond lasers. The femtosecond laser is an infrared emitting laser and is used to incise the cornea and create what is known as a “femtosecond laser”. “flap” – a corneal flap that is lifted and resealed after lasering.
Important advantages of this laser include high frequency (Mhz), low pulse energy (nJ) and small pulse area. With these unique properties, it has become possible to further improve the quality and precision of corneal cutting. This modern technology has already been used in several million operations.
