Femtolysis operation - advantages and disadvantages

FemtoLasik: Currently, it is one of the most precise and least dangerous types of laser eye surgery to correct refractive errors in the world.

If you are stressed about the LASIK operation or if you are worried about the presence of a surgical blade for thin corneal flap cutting in LASIK surgery, the Femtolysis method is the best option for you. Femtolysis (or femtosecond laser) is a procedure in which there is no surgical blade. In this method, which is also called bladeless LASIK or all-laser LASIK, the surgeon uses two types of lasers to correct vision.

Advantages of femtolytic eye operation

This procedure, like eye LASIK and eye LASIK, is considered an outpatient procedure, and the person does not need to be hospitalized after performing this procedure, and the person can go home immediately after performing it. Also, like eye LASIK, the speed of performing this procedure is also high, and there is no need for the person to be in the operating room for a long time.

Now is the time to point out some of the benefits of femtolytics in a case-by-case and headline-wise manner, benefits such as:

Reducing the risk of astigmatism after surgery to correct refractive errors in the eye

Reducing the risk of scratching when cutting the upper layer of the eye with a razor

Reducing the risk of error when cutting the eye with a razor

Decreasing the number and amount of side effects after femtolytic eye surgery

Reducing the risk and possibility of infection in the person's eye

The recovery period is very short and less than other existing operations to fix refractive errors of the eye

There is no fear of the blade entering the eye in this surgery for the patient

Safer and more accurate cutting with a laser instead of a blade

Returning the cut surface and surfaces in place, more accurate than other eye refractive error removal operations

And...

Disadvantages and side effects in eye femtolysis operation

This procedure is so efficient and up-to-date that it is not possible to give an example of significant risks, disadvantages and side effects, but it is subject to the existing law in the nature of medical science that every operation has side effects. Here are some of the risks, disadvantages, and complications of this procedure:

Due to the lack of a blade and the use of a laser for cutting, cutting may not occur completely

In much rarer cases, the cut surface may not stay in place

Very low probability of infection in the operated eye

Low probability of irritation, inflammation and redness in the eye that has undergone surgery

The possibility of the occurrence of other defects from refractive errors of the eye, or in other words the possibility of the occurrence of myopia, farsightedness and astigmatism

Sections of the non-corneal cornea

The presence of wrinkles in the incisions made in the eyes

creating contraction in people's eyes

It should be noted that if a person's pain is not alleviated by using pain relievers, or if a person encounters an unusual and unusual problem, he should quickly go to his doctor without any self-treatment, so that if necessary, they can follow up with a specialist.

The difference between LASIK and FemtoLASIK

As mentioned earlier, the main difference between LASIK and Femtolysis is in the way of cutting the cornea and preparing it for excimer laser radiation. In LASIK, this is done by a small device called a microkeratome, but in femtolysis, this is done by femtosecond laser rays.

Suitable age for eye femtolysis operation

This operation, like other operations to correct refractive errors of the eye, is better to be performed after one year has passed since the person's eye number is fixed, because if it is done before this age, there is a possibility of the return of visual impairment.

If it happens after this age, it increases the probability of cataracts.

What ages is this age range for?

It is not possible to issue a general verdict for all people, and the exact age of each person is determined by the attending physician according to the characteristics of each person's eyes, but the age of fixing the eye number is generally between 18 and 25 years old.

The right time to perform the operation is one year after that, in other words, between the ages of 19 and 26, but as mentioned, it is better for an expert to give an opinion on this matter and the appropriate age of the people.

As mentioned in the side effects of eye femtolysis operation, it is better to know that this operation does not have many side effects and if you want to go into details, it is like other operations and you cannot consider a special category for the side effects of eye femtolysis operation.

Who can have femtolytic surgery?

Experts say almost anyone with nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism is a good candidate for the femtosecond laser. اگر سن شما بین 18 تا 60 سال باشد و خطاهای انکساری شما در طی یک سال گذشته تغییر نکرده باشد، FEMTO LASIK می تواند انتخاب خوبی برای شما باشد.

Which people are not suitable for Femtolysis?

People who have viral eye infections, herpes, diabetes, keratoconus and any other disease that requires cortisone treatment are not suitable for Femtolyzic.

For age-related vision problems, sometimes known as presbyopia, femtolysis is not an ideal solution. In such cases, we suggest the use of multipurpose lenses.

People who suffer from very dry eyes or have thin corneas are often not considered for femtolytic surgery. They achieve a better result with the alternative but excellent method of PRK.
