Laser Vision Correction

ADVANTAGES OF LASER VISION CORRECTION

1. Enjoy your favorite games and activities with no barrier.
   
2. Look better and feel better.
3. Occupational flexibility.
4. No more replacing or repairing glasses.
5. No more buying or wearing contact lens.
6. Convenient.
7. Quick recovery.
8. Long –lasting result.

Laser vision correction is alternative to eyeglasses and contact lenses that can help you see more naturally. The concept behind laser vision correction is simple – reshaping the front of the eye to change its focusing power. These elegant procedures are safe and effective with the right patient.

FEMTO LASIK

In Femto-LASIK, the Femtosecond laser is used to create a flap on the cornea. The flap layer is then gently lifted up to expose the inner layers of the cornea.

The Excimer laser is used to reshape the inner layers of the cornea, thus changing the eye's power. Once treated with the Excimer laser, the flap is gently placed back down again in its original position.

MICROKERATOME LASIK

A micro-keratome (blade cutter) is used to create a flap on the cornea. The flap layer is then gently lifted up to expose the inner layers of the cornea.

The Excimer laser is used to reshape the inner layers of the cornea, thus changing the eye's power. Once treated with the Excimer laser, the flap is gently placed back down again in its original position.

ADVANCE SURFACE ABLATION (ASA)

The top skin layer of the cornea, the epithelium is gently removed to allow the Excimer laser to be applied to the inner layers of the cornea. The Excimer laser is used to reshape the inner layers of the cornea thus changing the eye's power.

Once treated with the Excimer laser, a bandage contact lens is then placed over the cornea to protect the treated area until complete healing of the epithelium.

ZEISS SMILE (formerly known as ReLEx SMILE)

Flapless. Painless. Bladeless

In SMILE, the Femtosecond laser is used to create a lenticule in the inner layers of the cornea. The Femtosecond laser is able to penetrate the surface of the cornea without any cutting involved or causing any damage to the surface layers.

A small, micro incision (2-4mm) is created at the side of the cornea. The lenticule that was created earlier is gently removed through the small micro incision made. With the lenticule removed, the cornea shape is altered, which changes the power of the eye.
