Femtosecond Laser


The femtosecond laser is used to create a flap on the cornea in LASIK laser eye surgery. Unlike traditional LASIK surgery, this all laser surgery also termed IntraLase, IntraLASIK and all laser LASIK, involves using a femtosecond laser to cut the flap followed by an excimer laser to shape the cornea. The laser is guided by a computer, which controls the size, shape and depth of the flap. The cornea is cut at 15,000 pulses per second using pulses of energy within the cornea, which cause a small controlled explosion of gas, which separates the layers of the cornea.
