Forget the scalpel! Femtolasik is a revolutionary vision correction technique in Turkey. It uses the power of a femtosecond laser to create an ultra-thin, precise corneal flap, replacing the traditional blade technique of LASIK.

What is Femto-LASIK for vision correction?
Femto-LASIK, using a femtosecond laser, is the most advanced and safest refractive surgery technique available today. It is used to correct a variety of visual defects, including myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia and presbyopia.
Widely used in Turkey, Femto-LASIK has become a must for correcting refractive errors. Its main advantages are rapid visual recovery and the absence of post-operative pain.
The advantages of this technique are the rapid visual recovery and the absence of pain during the postoperative course.
Femto Lasik eye procedure in Turkey
The surgical procedure involves the creation of a corneal flap with the femtosecond laser, which is used to treat the vision defect in the deepest layers of the cornea with the excimer laser.
After treatment, the flap is repositioned in its original location where it naturally adheres within seconds, just like a natural contact lens.
Traditional LASIK uses a mechanical blade (a microkeratome) to create a corneal flap. In contrast, Femto-LASIK uses an ultra-precise femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap without a blade.
This bladeless technique allows the surgeon to tailor the use of the femtosecond laser to the unique characteristics of each patient. It offers maximum precision and minimum flap thickness, preserving more corneal tissue. What's more, this method allows surgeons to calculate and predict results with great accuracy, significantly reducing the risk of error.
Risks and contraindications of Femto-LASIK
Although Femto-LASIK is the most advanced and reliable technique available today for correcting visual defects, it cannot guarantee perfect results or a complication-free procedure. During the preoperative examination, the surgeon will evaluate each patient's situation and inform him or her of any possible risks or additional restrictions.
Femto-LASIK is not recommended for eye conditions such as keratoconus, corneal degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. If you're under 18, you should not undergo this type of surgery because your eyes are still developing.

The refractive errors that can be treated with Femto-LASIK and the Presbyond laser with our ophthalmology clinics in Turkey are:
- Myopia (nearsightedness): when a patient cannot see well from a distance
- Hyperopia (farsightedness): when a patient cannot see well up close
- Astigmatism: when the patient has blurred vision of the contours of objects. This is due to the presence of several focal points in the eye, due to an abnormality in the cornea
- Presbyopia: hyperopia due to loss of accommodation, caused by aging of the crystallin
- Two or more combined ametropias.
The main difference between standard LASIK and Femto-LASIK is in the corneal flap incision. In LASIK, the flap is incised with the microkeratome (small surgical blade),while in Femto-LASIK, the corneal flap is incised with a femtosecond laser (a bladeless technology). Therefore, the risk of complications is reduced.
This treatment is contraindicated in case of:
- Keratoconus: a condition that corresponds to a deformation of the shape of the cornea (cone shape instead of a spherical shape);
- Unstable intraocular pressure (untreated glaucoma);
- Cornea that is too thin.
The success rate for Femto-LASIK and Presbyond laser treatment with our clinics in Turkey is 99%.
