What is the difference between LASIK and Femto-LASIK?
The LASIK method is the oldest method of incision techniques.
It was developed in 1991 and here we create a lenticule with a micro-precision knife, with a microkeratome.
Over time, this mechanical method was replaced by a second laser, the femtosecond laser.

Over time, this mechanical method was replaced by a second laser, the femtosecond laser.
This means that with Femto-LASIK, which is the further development of LASIK, we no longer cut mechanically, but with the femtosecond laser.
In principle in the first method and in the second method we achieve a flap and a lenticule, only the way in which we create this lenticule is different. I cordially invite you to book an appointment with EyeLaser.
This appointment can also be arranged online.
During this appointment, initial clarifications will be carried out and you will get to know our team personally.
