What is the difference between LASIK and Femto-LASIK treatment?

Dr. Victor Derhartunian explains the difference between LASIK and Femto-LASIK.

LASIK treatment

In LASIK surgery, the corneal incision is made mechanically with a knife.

Femto-LASIK treatment

In Femto-LASIK, the incision is made with a high-precision Femto second laser.

This is a further development of LASIK surgery and contributes to increased safety and precision of the entire treatment.
