Metoda VLASIK laserowa korekcja wzroku w klinice Voigt

With our proprietary VLASIK® method, the range of correction is virtually unlimited. The VLASIK® procedure is also suitable for patients with thin corneas or large pupils.

The procedure itself is similar to the FEMTOLASIK method, while the difference is in the laser software, which we have developed from years of experience.

With this procedure, we primarily correct difficult and complicated vision defects. However, we use it for most cases of myopia and astigmatism due to its quality and lack of complications and immediate improvement in vision.

How does VLASIK laser vision correction work ?

Preparation for the procedure

VLASIK begins with preparation of the treatment area – the patient’s face is washed with a special disinfectant, and the eyes are anesthetized with drops. With the help of dilators, the patient’s eyelids are also immobilized – he or she looks up at the light all the time during the procedure.

Laser corneal incision

Using a state-of-the-art femtosecond laser, the ophthalmologist incises the cornea and forms a flap about 0.1 mm thick, which is slightly deflected. Femtosecond laser energy is used for the incision, which allows the collagen fibers to be torn and a 0.1mm thick flap to be peeled away. In our clinic, we use the most modern version of the laser.

Corneal modeling with laser

In the next step, the cornea is exposed and subjected to laser shaping for a few seconds using excimer laser energy – part of the cornea is vaporized at the level of the dermis. It is completely painless for the patient and does not cause him any discomfort. Once the cornea is modeled, the flap is closed – it immediately attaches to the cornea, forming a protective barrier. For the best protection of the eye, the patient is fitted with special lenses, which are removed the next day. The entire procedure takes about. 15 minutes for two eyes.
