Dr Youssef Hanna explains Femto LASIK:
Femto LASIK is a modern, bladeless laser eye surgery that corrects vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It’s a safe and precise way to help you see clearly without glasses or contact lenses.
How Does It Work?
- Gentle Flap Creation:
Instead of using a blade, a special laser called a femtosecond laser creates a very thin, precise flap on the surface of your eye. This flap is painless and incredibly accurate. - Reshaping the Cornea:
After lifting the flap, a second laser reshapes the cornea underneath to correct your vision. - Flap Replacement:
The flap is then carefully placed back, where it naturally sticks without needing stitches.
Why Choose Femto LASIK?
- Bladeless and safer than traditional LASIK
- Quick procedure — usually finished in 10 to 15 minutes
- Fast recovery — many patients see clearly within 24 hours
- Less discomfort and fewer risks
- Suitable for more patients, including those with thinner corneas
