Femto-LASIK Laser Eye Surgery in Malaysia
Introduction
Femto-LASIK laser eye surgery is a type of corneal refractive laser surgery which is widely performed. It is the abbreviation of Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis. It is a surgical procedure that uses laser to reshape the cornea to correct the refractive error with a thin flap in the cornea. Femto-LASIK laser eye surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that can correct refractive errors from mild to severe near-sightedness and astigmatism.
How is our LASIK surgery procedure looks like?
Step 1
Cornea flap is created and lifted.
Step 2
An Excimer laser is used to correct the refractive error.
Step 3
The flap is repositioned and allowed to heal and adhered naturally without stitches
Step by Step Femto-LASIK Eye Surgery in IKONIK
- Pre-operative Consultation: Meet with your ophthalmologist to assess your candidacy for Femto-LASIK and discuss your expectations.
- Eye Preparation: On the day of surgery, your eye will be numbed with eye drops, and an instrument called a lid speculum will be used to keep your eyelids open.
- Creation of Flap: A femtosecond laser will be used to create a thin corneal flap, which is gently lifted to expose the underlying corneal tissue.
- Laser Reshaping: An excimer laser will be employed to precisely reshape the cornea, correcting any refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
- Flap Replacement: After the cornea is reshaped, the flap is carefully repositioned, creating a natural bandage to aid in the healing process.
- Post-operative Care: You will be provided the instructions on post-operative care, which may include using medicated eye drops and avoiding certain activities during the healing period.
- Follow-up Visits: Attend scheduled follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing and visual outcomes.

WOW! IKONIK LASIK Surgery is BLADELESS?!
Yes! We are one of the eye specialists that perform bladeless laser eye surgery in Malaysia. In the early years of LASIK surgery, manual blade system known as microkeratomes were used to create the corneal flap. The flap was created to allow exposure of the deeper layer of the cornea to the Excimer laser that reshapes the cornea. The development of Femtosecond laser technology has revolutionised flap creation; it allows the procedure to be a bladeless procedure with its own advantages. Bladeless laser eye surgery procedures such as Femto-LASIK provide a better experience for the patients and better comfort.
