This is a modern method of treating refractive disorders, in which the shape of the cornea is changed using a unique femtosecond laser.

10-15 minutes

This VN generates ultrashort (femtosecond) pulses, which allows the operation to be performed with high accuracy.

During surgery, the laser affects the cornea, changing its shape in such a way as to correct refractive errors. As a result, the focusing of light on the retina improves, and the patient begins to see clearly and clearly without glasses or contact lenses.

Preparation for the diagnosis

Перед процедурой

Необходимо пройти полное офтальмологическое обследование, включающее проверку остроты зрения, измерение внутриглазного давления и топографию роговицы.

За 1 неделю до операции

Следует отказаться от ношения контактных линз, чтобы роговица восстановила свою естественную форму. Накануне рекомендуется исключить алкогольные напитки

В день операции

Нужно отказаться от макияжа, парфюмерии и крема для лица. Рекомендуется взять с собой солнечные очки, позавтракать и не садиться самостоятельно за руль. Приехать лучше на такси или в сопровождении родственников или друзей.

After Femto Lasik vision correction, the patient will need a rehabilitation period. During this time, there may be restrictions, which it is important to be aware of in advance.:

The need to use eye drops that will be prescribed by a doctor. This will help speed up the healing process and reduce discomfort after surgery.
Restriction of physical activity and sports during the first weeks after surgery.
Refusal to swim in open reservoirs and pools during the week.

Although vision usually becomes perfect the very next day, full recovery can take from a couple of weeks to several months. During the postoperative period, it is important to visit a doctor to monitor the healing process and correct treatment if necessary.

During the recovery period, patients may experience the following temporary symptoms:

Feeling of dryness or lacrimation;
Increased photosensitivity;
Distortion of the perception of light sources, mainly at night;

Usually these symptoms can be successfully eliminated under the supervision of a specialist.
