FemtoLASIK refractive surgery is a technique that combines the precision of the femtosecond laser with the efficacy of the excimer laser to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism quickly, safely, and predictably. During the procedure, a small opening is made in the cornea<\/strong>, and an ultrathin flap is created, allowing it to be reshaped while respecting its natural structure and stability.<\/p>

The 100% laser flap eliminates the use of mechanical microkeratomes, offering superior precision and reproducibility in the thickness, diameter, and centering of the corneal flap. This technique generates homogeneous edges and more uniform corneal adhesion, ensuring optimal structural quality and a safer, more predictable surgery.<\/p>

Thanks to the combination of these two lasers, FemtoLASIK offers precise and predictable visual correction, even in high or irregular prescriptions.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Discontinue contact lens use:<\/strong>
    Stop wearing soft contact lenses at least one week before surgery, and rigid or semi-rigid lenses for two weeks or more (as recommended by your doctor), so that your cornea can return to its natural shape.<\/p>

    Hygiene:<\/strong>
    Wash your face and eyelids thoroughly the night before and on the day of surgery. Avoid using make-up, creams, lotions, perfumes or colognes on the periocular area and face from the day before, as residues can increase the risk of infection.<\/p>

    Medications:
    <\/strong> Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, especially those that may cause bleeding. You may be prescribed antibiotic or anti-inflammatory drops to use a few days before the procedure.
    Fasting\/Food: It is not necessary to fast, but avoid heavy meals. Also, do not consume caffeine on the day of surgery to stay relaxed.<\/p>

    Companion:<\/strong>
    Come to the clinic with a companion, as you will not be able to drive after the procedure.<\/p>

    Clothing:<\/strong>
    Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that does not need to be removed over your head (avoid wool or fabrics that shed lint).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Eye drops:<\/strong>
    Use the prescribed drops (antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and lubricants) strictly as directed by your doctor. They are essential for preventing infection and aiding healing.<\/p>

    Rest and protection:
    <\/strong> Keep your eyes closed as much as possible for the first 24 hours and avoid rubbing them under any circumstances so as not to displace the corneal flap.<\/p>

    Hygiene:<\/strong>
    Avoid getting water, soap or shampoo in your eyes for the first few days. Use sterile wipes or gauze pads with saline solution to clean the area if necessary.<\/p>

    Activity restrictions:<\/strong>
    Avoid wearing make-up and applying creams around your eyes for at least one month.
    Do not engage in strenuous physical activity, carry heavy objects, bend down suddenly or play contact sports during the first few weeks.
    Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs or the sea for 2 to 4 weeks.<\/p>

    Sunglasses:<\/strong>
    Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from bright light and dust, especially outdoors, for the first few weeks.<\/p>

    Check-ups:
    <\/strong> Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your ophthalmologist to monitor your recovery and ensure that healing is progressing properly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
