1. Full Femtosecond Technology:
All-femtosecond laser surgery is an advanced myopia correction technology, also known as "all-laser" or "knife-free" surgery. This technique uses a laser to create a very thin corneal flap inside the cornea, and then uses another laser to reshape the corneal curvature to change the diopter and correct myopia.
The advantages of full femtosecond technology include:
-Faster healing: Because surgery does not require a traditional scalpel, patients usually experience a faster healing process, reducing discomfort and dryness.
-Higher safety: Full femtosecond surgery uses laser to complete corneal surgery, which reduces possible mechanical and human errors and improves the safety of surgery.
-Less side effects: Full femtosecond surgery can reduce irregular cutting or damage of corneal flap, thus reducing the risk of postoperative complications such as dry eye and corneal scar.
2. Semi-femtosecond technology:
Semi-femtosecond laser surgery is a traditional laser myopia correction technique, also known as "traditional laser" or "standard LASIK". This technique uses a laser to create a corneal flap on the cornea, and then uses another laser to reshape the corneal curvature to correct myopia.
The advantages of semi-femtosecond technology include:
-Mature technology: Semi-femtosecond laser surgery has been widely used for many years, and there are a lot of clinical data to support its safety and effectiveness.
-Wide applicability: Semi-femtosecond technology is suitable for different degrees of myopia correction, and can be combined with other laser surgery technologies (such as PRK).
It should be noted that whether it is full femtosecond or semi-femtosecond technology, the final choice should be decided by the doctor according to your personal situation and eye health. The doctor will comprehensively consider your myopia, corneal thickness, corneal curvature and other factors, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical techniques with you in detail in order to provide you with the best treatment plan.
