Vision Correction Procedure

A procedure of laser vision correction, i.e. a refractive surgery consists of several stages:

First stage: Incision

For an eye anesthetization, specific drops (topical anesthetic) are used. Femto-laser impulses are focused on the corneal surface to make a cut. With a pre-programmed cut depth, laser pulses form microscopic bubbles of water and air which then enlarge and disintegrate corneal tissues.

Second stage: Flapping

Millions of the smallest laser pulses form a seamless flap that detaches easily from the tissue and folds back.

Third stage: Vision correction by excimer laser

In a few seconds, the excimer laser pulses remove from the cornea a layer of the pre-defined tickness to correct the corneal thickness and recover the vision.

Fourth stage: Natural plaster

The flap returns to its initial position and sticks to the cornea as a natural plaster.

As soon as the procedure is finished, on the very first day, a patient feels the difference and starts enjoying life without glasses!
