A member asked:
I have myopia . want to do the femtosecond lesser surgery .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Femtosecond LASIK: Surgery of the cornea has been a proven method for myopia. It is one of the safest procedures on the human body and with the introduction of femtosecond laser to produce the corneal flap it is even safer. Evaluation for dry eye syndrome and retinal abnormalities is a must prior to any type of lasik or prk procedure.
