Femto-LASIK is a 100% bladeless version of LASIK, available at Abate Eye Hospital in Kerala. Instead of a surgical blade, the Zeiss VisuMax 800 femtosecond laser creates the corneal flap in about 5 seconds, with computer-guided precision. This makes Femto-LASIK safer and more comfortable than traditional LASIK, and an excellent choice for patients who are not suitable for SMILE Pro.

Femto-LASIK, also known as bladeless LASIK, is an advanced laser vision correction procedure that uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap instead of a surgical blade. This allows the surgeon to create a highly precise, customized flap before the excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
At Abate Eye Hospital, Femto-LASIK offers a precise, blade-free approach to reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is designed for comfort, accuracy, and quick recovery, with your eye surgeon first evaluating your eyes to determine whether Femto-LASIK is the right vision correction option for you.

Both Femto-LASIK and traditional LASIK can effectively correct refractive errors. Your eye surgeon will recommend the most suitable option based on your eye health and vision needs.
Femto-LASIK may be suitable for adults with stable vision who want to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It can be used to correct common refractive errors such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism, depending on your eye health and prescription.
Femto-LASIK is particularly suited to patients who prefer a blade-free approach to LASIK. Instead of using a mechanical blade, a femtosecond laser creates the corneal flap with precise control, which allows your surgeon to customize the treatment according to your individual eye measurements.
The best way to know if Femto-LASIK is right for you is through a detailed eye examination. Your surgeon will assess your corneal thickness, eye health, prescription stability, and other factors before recommending the most appropriate vision correction procedure.
