Blade Free LASIK with the VisuMax femtosecond laser
Blade Free LASIK
New Vision Laser Centers offers the latest technology for blade free LASIK (also known as bladeless lasik or No Blade LASIK) laser vision correction at 4 centers across India- Mumbai (Bombay), Vadodara (Vadodara) , Hyderabad, Surat and Ahmedabad. We offer the latest technology, including the VisuMax laser from Carl Zeiss Meditec, Intralase iFS laser from Abbott Medical Optics, and Femto LDV from Zeimer Ophthalmics.
Blade free LASIK technology offers several advantages over conventional lasik. In Blade free LASIK technology, instead of using a microkeratome to cut the LASIK flap, a femtosecond laser is used to seperate corneal layers to create a flap without cutting the cornea. The femtosecond laser has several advantages over the microkeratome to cut the flap. These advantages enhance the safety, predictability and accuracy of the lasik procedure. These advantages include:
Safety:
- Precise control over flap dimension and thickness
- No chance of flap complications like free cap and buttonhole
- Less chances of flap displacement because the architecture of the flap edge can be controlled accurately
- If there is a suction loss, then the procedure can be repeated immediately
- Predictability
- Studies show that the likelihood of getting 20/20 vision increases when a femtosecond laser is used.
- Accuracy
- Less aberrations are induced when compared to a microkeratome
Our clinical director, Dr. Rupal Shah is one of the pioneers in femtosecond laser and bladeless LASIK technology, and she has done some pathbreaking work in relationship to the ReLEx all femtosecond laser procedure. For more details, please visit Bladeless LASIK
Of course, Blade free LASIK or Bladeless LASIK is more expensive then conventional lasik with a blade. This is because one needs two lasers to complete the procedure. Also, special license fees need to be paid to the laser company. However, if you can afford it, you should consider it. You can also consider ReLEx smile, which is offered in Vadodara (Baroda), Mumbai (Bombay), and Hyderabad. This is the safest laser vision correction procedure available.
