Blade free Laser Vision Correction presents the pinnacle of technologies for LASIK eye surgery. Blade-free allows LASIK to attain high degrees of precision, comfort and safeness for patients. In blade-free Laser Vision Correction, the corneal flap is produced by using a Femtosecond Laser rather than a Microkeratome (a blade) that is used in classic Lasik surgery.
The reasons Blade Free (Femtosecond Laser) LASIK is more advanced than Blade (Microkeratome) LASIK are multiple:
1. Blade-free Laser Vision Correction creates a flawless flap on every occasion; this is not the case when using a blade. A blade can sometimes cause a 'button hole' flap that doesn't allow treatment to carry on and carries a risk of scarring the cornea. Using a Femtosecond Laser all but eliminates this risk. A flawless flap equals better vision.
2. The more delicate flaps that a Femtosecond Laser produces are safer in the long run compared to blade flaps as the cornea post operative has greater stability as it's thicker. This minimizes the chances of a problem called Ectasia, where the cornea can bulge forward after a period of time, potentially needing a transplant of the cornea to fix.
3. Blade free (Femtosecond Laser) Laser Eye Surgery reliably outperforms blade (Microkeratome) lasers in clinical studies looking at quality of vision. The flap profile and level of smoothness is better, offering vision as good as or better than their eyeglasses. A flap created by means of a blade is thinner peripherally and thicker centrally, this kind of unevenness may blur vision. A Femtosecond laser (blade free) produced flap is a reliable thickness across its entire diameter, decreasing the likelihood of micro-wrinkles, the perfect flap profile offering the very best vision in Laser Vision Correction.
4. Blade free (Femtosecond Laser) Laser Eye Surgery allows the placement of the flap to be produced perfectly, something that's unachievable with a blade. The ophthalmologist provides a virtual image of the flap placement superimposed on top of the patient's cornea and before creating it he or she may adjust and optimize the flap placement so it is centred correctly each and every time. This gives improved vision and safety.
5. A Laser flap is created with a vertical side cut, which is once again a feat not achievable with a blade or Microkeratome flap. This immensely cuts down on the risk of a problem called epithelial ingrowth, where the tissue on the surface of the cornea get seeded underneath the flap. It also allows a better flap profile as the flap slots back downward similar to a small manhole cover. Laser Vision Correction has evolved in an exciting new direction with the introduction of blade-free femtosecond laser flaps; it is finally delivering on its assurance of the best and most exacting course of action attainable.
