What is the Femtolaser technology?

 Think about an instance which begins and ends only in one - quadrillion of a second... This unit of time is called as femtosecond. Thanks to the high energy exposed to the tissue in this duration, a laceration can be made for flap on the cornea. With the introduction of this technology, the traditional lasik method is replaced with the intralasik (femtolaser) method (which has been used in our hospital for years) and lasik surgery. The reason why this method is called as non surgical laser is that the energy created for an extremely short time, that is femtosecond, replaces the blade. 

Thanks to the sensitivity provided by the Intralase FS laser technology, you can SAFELY apply for refractive laser treatment. This new method significantly reduces the risk of complication. The high level of its sensitivity which was not possible to obtain from the former methods, makes the Intralase system the safest surgical method of today. Comparative clinical studies have proven that the Intralase provides the best vision that can be anticipated.

What are the advantages of the Femtolaser technology? 

Creating the thin layer, that is the flap, needed for lasik surgery, without contact of any foreign body is a great advantage. The corneal laceration that we prepare in any depth or size that we prefer is made very effectively and safely, without using any blade thanks to the femtolaser. The results in our patients (who have been freed from the glasses thanks to laser technology) are excellent and complication - free thanks to this method.

Femtolaser technology is not solely used to create flaps in the lasik surgery but  also it facilitates the implantation of ring by creating tunnel in the cornea in operating the kerataconus patients. By this means, our patients can be rehabilitated in short term.

The most advanced technology which is currently used throughout the world in operating computarized laser surgery is the femtolaser technology.
