Femto Super LASIK is an innovative method of laser vision correction associated with the problems of refraction of light rays by the optical system of the eye. It is intended for the treatment of patients with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, as well as for people with anomalies such as too thin corneas. The word "Femto" comes from the name of the femtosecond laser used to perform the operation. The word "LASIK" is an abbreviation of the English phrase, which translates as "laser keratomileusis".
Femto Super LASIK is one of the most advanced vision correction methods. This is a more modern variation of the Super LASIK method. After the procedure, the patient's vision improves by giving the cornea, which acts as a natural lens, a different shape. Due to this, it begins to refract light rays differently, which are focused on the retina. As a result, the patient begins to see clearly and clearly, does not experience pain and discomfort.
Femto Lasik laser vision correction operations are considered the "gold standard" and a guarantee of high quality in the field of refractive surgery and are successfully used in the world and in our clinic in Moscow for the treatment of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
The principle of operation of a femtosecond laser is based on a process called "photobreaking". Infrared pulses fall on the cornea, after which microbubbles form on it. They merge and form a dissection site, forming the thinnest corneal flap (flap). This process is safe, does not entail damage to the cornea, but only allows you to achieve its smooth surface.
The corneal flap is folded back, using the latest generation excimer laser Schwind Amaris 1050RS Limited Edition, laser ablation of the corneal stroma is performed, changing its curvature in accordance with the specified parameters. This change corrects vision. This method allows you to minimize discomfort after surgery, speeds up recovery and allows the patient to return to the usual rhythm of life in the shortest possible time.
There are such methods as Super Lasik (Super Lasik) and Femto Super LASIK (Femto Super LASIK) - advanced technologies for laser vision correction. They are performed using an excimer laser and a femtosecond laser. Laser eye microsurgery is often divided into two classes: LASIK and PRK (photorefractive keratectomy). They act on different layers of the cornea and are used in different areas of eye surgery for vision correction.
The minimum depth and power of laser penetration during surgery. It is set individually for each patient, taking into account all the features of the anatomical structures of the eye, identified during the diagnosis of vision
7D tracking system and minimal risks
The operation is very fast, using drip anesthesia. And guarantees a complete return of vision.
Recovery after surgery takes minimal time. The patient can quickly return to his usual life.
After the correction surgery, the patient's vision is restored in 2 hours, the operation is performed on an outpatient basis
The technique returns impaired contrast sensitivity and twilight vision.
The main advantage of the technique is the possibility of performing an operation for patients who have contraindications to other methods of treatment and vision correction. For example, for people with dry eyes, flat or too thin corneas.
Femto Super LASIK technology, like all laser therapy, is highly accurate, and its advantages also include the micro-invasiveness of the surgical intervention and the safety of neighboring tissues that remain unaffected. The femtosecond laser prevents postoperative complications, because tissues that have been exposed to it remain smooth and this ensures a quick recovery. Laser vision correction is performed at K+31 in Moscow using the best equipment - FEMTO LDV Z8 and SCHWIND Amaris 1050RS Limited Edition.

The main difference is the way the corneal flap is formed during the correction, as well as the fact that Femto Super LASIK uses a femtosecond laser instead of a microkeratome (mechanical cutting device).
Femto Super LASIK vision correction surgery using FEMTO LDV Z8 and SCHWIND Amaris 1050RS Limited Edition equipment can be performed with the following pathologies:
- Myopia (nearsightedness) - up to -13.00 diopters
- Hypermetropia (farsightedness) - up to +7.00 diopters
- Astigmatism - up to ±6.00 diopters
There are some contraindications:
Conjunctivitis viral, bacterial, fungal or allergic
Keratoconus is an eye disease in which the cornea takes the form of a cone.
Progressive cataract (in K+31, other methods are treated)
Severe health condition associated with reduced immunity in primary immunodeficiencies, AIDS, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis
Mental disorders
Periods of pregnancy and lactation
There are also age restrictions. Until the age of 18, the eyeball is still being formed, so vision correction surgery is not performed. This may lead to side effects. In people over 45 years old, age-related changes in the organs of vision may begin, so the operation often possible, but considered on a case-by-case basis.
Various eye diseases that are contraindications for this method of correction, in our clinic (Moscow) are subjected to other, no less effective, methods of treatment.
Initially, a comprehensive diagnosis and eye examination are carried out, examinations are prescribed. Two days before which you need to remove contact lenses, if you wear them (hard contact lenses should be removed two weeks before the test). You can learn more about what else needs to be done before the vision correction surgery, what examinations to undergo, at the consultation in an ophthalmological office after an ophthalmologist has studied your personal medical history and the condition of the eye (cornea, lens, retina, fundus and other parts).
The patient lies down on a special table, under the laser unit. After that, anesthetic drops are instilled. The operation is being carried out consecutively for each eye. It is important that during the procedure the patient does not close his eyes, a blepharoplasty is placed.
First, the femtosecond laser gently forms a corneal flap. It is pre-programmed for the parameters of a particular patient, so errors are excluded. The flap is carefully pushed aside. After that, the excimer laser comes into operation. Its task is to change the curvature of the cornea. When everything is ready, the light rays begin to converge correctly on the retina. Absolutely all steps are performed in accordance with the individual characteristics of the structure of the patient's eyes.
At the end of the operation, the corneal flap is returned to its place. No stitches are needed as the corneal layers are adjacent to each other tightly and grow together quickly.
About 1.5 hours the patient is in the walls of the clinic under the supervision of physicians. After that, he can go home. The rehabilitation period is short and usually proceeds easily, without complications.
There are practically no restrictions after Femto Super LASIK. However, the patient should observe the following recommendations:
- A few weeks after the operation, you need to be careful not to rub your eyes or put pressure on them.
- Avoid contact with the eyes of external objects. For example, make-up should be avoided for about a week after the procedure.
- For 30 days after the correction, you can not visit the pool, sauna and bath. In general, avoid getting water in your eyes during this period of time.
- Do not overload your eyesight.
We employ specialists of the highest category and use the latest advanced equipment, which guarantees the high quality of medical procedures and vision correction. We treat eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, strabismus, correct higher and lower order aberrations, presbyopia and other disorders of optics and refraction, help restore visual function, improve visual acuity and get rid of glasses and contact lenses.
