Blade-LASIK: Precision Vision Correction at Medilaser

Medilaser

The conventional LASIK procedure is time-tested and has seen many developments in the microkeratomes used and the laser ablation profiles. The procedure entails corneal flap creation with a microkeratome/blade followed by excimer laser power correction under the flap. The flap is then reposited.

Step By Step Procedure

STEP1

The refractive lenticule and small incision are created inside the intact cornea all in one step

STEP2

Top layer lifted. Shape of cornea corrected using Excimer laser

STEP2

Flap replaced back on cornea.

We, at Medilaser, use the Moria SBK (Sub- Bowman’s keratomileusis) One-Use Plus microkeratome which can make thinner flaps (90 micron) than conventional microkeratomes. It has the advantage of leaving more corneal tissue behind for better long term corneal strength and stability. The conventional flap thickness (130 micron) option is also available with this device. We use the Carl Zeiss Refractive Suite ( Femtosecond laser on Visumax and Excimer laser Mel 80) for all our laser refractive procedures. The excimer laser uses an Ablation Smart Profile or Tissue Saving Profile to correct the refractive error with best results.
