What is FemtoLASIK?

FemtoLASIK, the evolution in refractive surgery, incorporates the FEMTO LDV Z8 laser and AMARIS 1050RS for precise correction of myopia, astigmatism, hypermetropia, and presbyopia.

evolution in surgery

The combination of these leading-edge lasers has revolutionized refractive surgery. The FEMTO LDV Z8 creates an optimal corneal surface, and the AMARIS 1050RS excimer laser provides personalized treatment for visual defects.

The Amaris 1050RS laser stands out with its 1050 Hz pulsed frequency, dual-energy level ablation, 0.54 mm "Spot" size, optimized thermal pulse distribution, turbo automated tracking, sixth-dimensional tracking, online pachymetry, and aspheric ablation profiles.

The latest tool, FEMTO LDV Z8, uses low-pulse energy for precise cutting. SMARTPulse, with Amaris 1050RS, enhances postoperative visual quality. This technological advancement, applicable in various techniques such as bladeless LASIK, transPRK, and PresbyMAX, offers rapid recovery and minimal side effects.

How much does LASIK surgery cost?

Actually, the cost of the surgery does not depend on the degree of myopia, astigmatism, or hypermetropia. The cost of the surgery will depend on the type of excimer laser used and whether you want the surgery to be done with or without a blade.

The most modern technology involves using a state-of-the-art excimer laser with optimized thermal regulation and high-speed tracking to overcome normal eye movements. This, combined with the femtosecond laser that achieves a perfect cut, will help you achieve your goal of seeing 20/20.

How long do the benefits of LASIK surgery last?

FemtoLASIK surgery takes 5 minutes to perform and 48 hours to recover to return to normal activities. The surgery can last up to 20 years before losing correction due to the normal aging of the eyes. The approximate time may vary depending on the visual defect and the age at which the surgery is performed. Our specialists can tell you exactly how long the surgery can last after preoperative examinations.

How safe is LASIK?

The FemtoLASIK procedure is extremely safe, with the most significant risk being infection, with an incidence of 1 in 20,000 at Tijuana Eye Center.

When can LASIK not be done?

If you suffer from a chronic degenerative disease, you may not be a candidate for surgery. A thorough evaluation is important to determine the specific health conditions of each person.

How do I know if I am a candidate for LASIK surgery?

You must be at least 18 years old and meet certain corneal morphological characteristics to be a candidate for LASIK surgery and achieve lasting correction. When you come for a consultation, we can determine with accuracy whether you can undergo the surgery.

Fill out the following questionnaire below to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery:

How many times can LASIK surgery be done?

The surgery can be repeated as long as the conditions of the cornea allow it. For this, it is necessary to reevaluate the patient by a specialist in this surgery.

Key Points Summary
  • Advanced Refractive Surgery: FemtoLASIK uses a laser to create a flap in the cornea for vision correction, offering precision and reduced recovery times.
  • Quick Visual Recovery: Most patients experience significant improvements in vision almost immediately after the procedure.
  • Highly Effective: Effective for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
  • Minimally Invasive: Less invasive than traditional LASIK, with fewer complications.
