Bladeless LASIK

Ziemer Femto LDV Laser

The latest advancement in LASIK is bladeless LASIK, which provides for your increased safety and accuracy in an all-laser LASIK procedure. This advancement in technology increases the precision in the creation of the flap, ensuring the utmost in safety and visual recovery for the guest.

In Bladeless LASIK, 20/20 Institute LASIK Surgeons substitute the Ziemer Femto LDV laser for the microkeratome blade, removing the specific risks associated with the microkeratome flap creation. The Ziemer Femto LDV procedure improves on the microkeratome LASIK procedure in a number of ways:

  • Flexibility-the Femto LDV procedure can be used to treat patients with higher refractive errors, thinner corneas, and even moderate-to-high astigmatism.
  • Biomechanical superiority-the Femto LDV procedure creates flaps that are structurally superior and uniformly thin.
  • Improved Corneal Wound Healing-because of the superior nature of the Femto LDV flaps, patients heal faster than those have LASIK with the microkeratome.
  • Fewer complications-overall, some patients see significant complications with the microkeratome, there are significantly fewer such complications with the Ziemer Femto LDV
  • Greater predictability of results--with the Ziemer Femto LDV, patients are more likely to receive ideal vision correction than ever before The benefits for you are clear: a more customized procedure, less likelihood of complications, and quicker, more accurate results. Looking at all these factors, it is clear that the Ziemer Femto LDV means a whole new generation of LASIK surgery.

 

The Ziemer Femto LDV laser also has a number of advantages over other Bladeless LASIK systems. These advantages include:

  • High frequency pulses (>1000 kHz) that are very short (~250fs) and are low energy (< 100nJ)
  • Pulses are small and tightly focused
  • More precise cutting plane than competing femtosecond laser, meaning greater accuracy and precision
  • Less "shock wave" effect

 

The advantages of these technical breakthroughs are the reduction in possible complications related to all-laser LASIK. Especially important are the improved clarity of corneal flaps and the near-erasure of the opaque bubble layer (OBL), which can slow down treatment or lead to less than ideal results. More significant complications like vertical gas breakthrough that can lead to buttonhole flap complication and transient light sensitivity (TLS) are also significantly reduced with the Ziemer.
