LASIK<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Warsaw \u00b7 Krakow \u00b7 Vienna \u00b7 Zurich<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis \u2013 laser ablation within corneal tissue) is a type of refractive laser eye surgery. Unlike PRK\/ASA (Advanced Surface Ablation), which is photorefractive keratectomy, LASIK surgery does not require the removal of the epithelium, which means the patient experiences no pain and the eyes heal faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is LASIK?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If both eyes are to be operated on during the same procedure, LASIK is the most appropriate method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The invention of the LASIK method is attributed to Ioannis Pallikaris. In this method, a corneal flap is created using a microkeratome, and the correction itself is performed with an excimer laser. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

LASIK at SwissLaser \u2013 in brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LASIK is a flap-based method: the surgeon lifts a thin flap, the excimer laser reshapes the underlying tissue, and the flap is repositioned. At SwissLaser, we create the flap exclusively with the SCHWIND ATOS femtosecond laser \u2013 this is FemtoLASIK<\/a>, without a microkeratome and without a blade. We do not perform classic LASIK with a mechanical microkeratome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
