A sub-specialist in cornea pointed that application of the new method of Femto-LASIK for treatment of cornea diseases and especially for correction of eye refractive disorders, and further added: “Using this kind of laser, surgeries on cornea is done more precisely and quickly in such a way as such operation takes less than one minute and the patient is able to resume his work the day after this surgery. Dr Seyed Javad Hashemian stated on the new method of Femto-LASIK used for treatment of cornea diseases: Femto-LASIK is one of the most modern method for correction of myopia and hyperopia as well as astigmatism. Femtosecond laser enjoys various applications in ophthalmology including making incisions on cornea, treatment of glaucoma and some complications with retina.
He further added: “Presently, this new system has been devised in many specialized eye hospitals. This kind of laser, with a length of 1053 is in the range of infrared lights. It is able to pass through various spaces, making incisions on each axle. Consequently, this kind of laser has helped us make kinds of surgical incisions on all directions and axles.
He further added: “Nowadays, this method is used in surgeries on cornea such as layer grafting and the surgeries, which does require that a stent be devised in cornea thickness. This stent is also used for correction of refractive disorders through a flap (making in incision on cornea). Respective advantages of the said surgery, which is done by the help of Femtosecond laser are namely more preciseness, less complications and high speed”. Stating that previously during provision method of flap using LASIK, error coefficient could have caused that the said flap lacks desirable quality and appearance”. He also stated: “However, such problems as described above have been removed now because accuracy of the said device in preparing the said flap is really at higher level and it is controllable as it has been made considering cornea cut cellulose structure. Thus, respective surgery may be design and performed proportionate to conditions of each patient.
The above-named sub-specialist in cornea has also emphasized on the fact that complications of such surgeries have decreased to a large extent and he added: “This method is useful especially for those who are not able to go through other methods including surface cornea laser, P.R.P and LASEK. He also stated: “There are different methods, used for correction of refractive disorders. However, in the patients, who are candidates for LASIK surgery, the said operation shall be performed more precisely and reliably using femtolaser equipment”.
