Modern LASIK Surgery Today
• Better excimer laser design, optics & algorithms
• Tissue saving
• Customised treatments
• Aspheric (for spherical aberration)
• Wavefront-guided (for higher order aberrations)
• Better eye trackers
• Bladeless corneal flap creation: Femtosecond laser technology

Why use femtosecond laser technology during the first step of LASIK?
• Provides a 100% blade-free LASIK procedure
• Enables more people to achieve 20/20 (6/6) vision or better
• Fewer flap related complications

• Incomplete flaps
• Free flaps
• Button holes in flaps
• Recurrent erosions in the cornea
