FEMTO LASIK

Precision Redefined With
Time Tested Safety

Femto Lasik is one of the safest and a truly time tested Laser Vision Correction Procedure. Femto-Lasik was introduced by Visual Aids Centre in India in the year 2012. The corneal flap up until 2011 was made using a conventional microkeratome which is a mechanical instrument comprising of a blade. Like most mechanical instruments, the results are not always precise and predictable. There are certain degrees of risks involved when a blade is used to create a corneal flap. Using the Femto-Second laser technology, the corneal flap is separated through tiny air bubbles which is more precise and minimally invasive and therefore preserves the natural constitution of the eye.

Femto-second laser technology was introduced to mitigate all potential risks and to achieve predictable outcomes, and is now considered to be the most patient friendly option.

What's New With Femto Lasik?

The pre procedural planning takes precedence in Femto-second Lasik and a truly customized procedure as per the needs and wants of the patients is designed. With Femto Lasik being completely Blade- Free, a pre-determined tailor-made approach towards each eye is taken. More precision implies safer and better visual outcomes.

Most patient friendly Laser Vision Correction procedure.

Two-step procedure (5 minutes to create the flap followed by a 5 minutes break then 5 minutes for Laser Ablation).

Fastest visual recovery.

Minumum to no pain or discomfort.

Excellent long-term visual outcomes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I traveled to India from U.S specifically for refractive surgery at Visual Aids Centre, and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. I originally went in dead-set on getting WaveLight Plus (custom LASIK) based on my own research. However, after detailed scans (cornea thickness of 574, myopia around -2.9, and minor astigmatism), the doctor took the time to explain why SMILE Pro was actually the safer option for me. Because I already experience mild dry eyes, he advised against a flap-based procedure, noting that SMILE Pro would deliver the same perfect results without risking permanent dry eye or flap complications. I highly appreciated his honesty and patient-first approach rather than just performing the surgery I initially asked for.

The SMILE Pro procedure itself was completely painless, fascinating, and finished in under 20 minutes. What truly set this clinic apart, however, was their outstanding hospitality. As a traveling patient, having a dedicated staff member on call for me to reach out to in case of any emergencies during my first few days of recovery provided incredible peace of mind.

The recovery followed exactly what they promised. After some initial fogginess on day one, I went back to my hotel, followed my strict drop schedule, and rested. By my final check-up before flying home, I was already reading the 1.2 and half of the 1.5 lines on their acuity chart (roughly 20/13.5 vision). My eyes are still finishing their final 35% of internal healing on a tapered steroid drop schedule, but I am already seeing significantly better than I ever did with glasses. Highly recommend this center and their team if you are considering flapless laser eye correction.

Shout out to the doctor who performed my surgery; you were the best!’
