Femto-LASIK: Clear Vision Without Blades
What is Femto-LASIK?
Femto-LASIK is laser eye surgery. It fixes common vision problems like:
- You can't see far away (near-sighted)
- You can't see up close (farsighted)
- Blurry vision at all distances
A unique laser is used in this procedure. LASIK eye surgery can be completed in less than a minute, in fact, less than a tenth of a second—thanks to the laser’s speed and accuracy.

How Does Femto-LASIK Work?
The surgery has three simple steps:
Step 1: Make a Flap
A laser makes a thin flap on your eye. This flap is on the clear front part. No blades are used. Only lasers.
Step 2: Fix Your Vision
Your doctor lifts the flap. Then, a second laser fixes the tissue below. This corrects your vision.
Step 3: Replace the flap
The flap returns to its position. It recovers by itself. No need for stitches! It takes about fifteen minutes to finish the procedure for both eyes.
