Femtolasik (Femtosecond Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is an advanced type of refractive eye surgery used to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. It is a refined version of traditional LASIK, utilizing a femtosecond laser to create a precise corneal flap instead of a mechanical blade (microkeratome), offering greater safety, precision, and predictability.

Here’s a general overview of the procedure:

1. Creation of the Corneal Flap:
   A femtosecond laser is used to create an ultra-thin, precise flap in the cornea. This step is bladeless, reducing the risk of complications.
2. Corneal Reshaping:
   After lifting the flap, an excimer laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue to correct the refractive error.
3. Repositioning the Flap:
   The corneal flap is carefully repositioned without the need for stitches, allowing it to naturally adhere and heal.

Advantages of Femtolasik include:

• Greater precision and customization
• Reduced risk of flap-related complications
• Faster recovery and less discomfort
• Better outcomes, especially for patients with thinner corneas

This technique has become a popular and highly effective option for people seeking to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
