The keratome LASIK (standard LASIK)

In LASIK a thin, hinged flap is created in the corneal stroma of the cornea and then lifted aside. While in Femto-LASIK this flap is prepared with a laser (femtosecond laser), a mechanical microkeratome (a computer-controlled special blade) is used in standard or keratome LASIK. These highly precise microknives are fixed at the correct position with a suction ring.

The exposed corneal tissue is reshaped according to exact calculations of a computer software which guides the laser beam. After that the corneal flap is repositioned and works as a kind of natural band-aid. Obviously, Realeyes only uses the most modern keratomes – at the moment these are „Cariazzo-Pendular“ by Schwind oder „Amadeus“ by AMO.

The flap is prepared with a microkeratome in standard LASIK. At Realeyes only the most modern precision knives are used. An alternative procedure would be the Femto-LASIK, also offered at our laser eye center.
