Traditional LASIK surgery was performed using a mechanical blade (microkeratome) to create the corneal flap. The bladeless LASIK procedure of today uses laser technology to perform this step, offering increased precision and predictability Increasing number of patients, who visit to research a LASIK surgeon in Indore, request specifically for bladeless techniques. For those who are suitable candidates, Dr. Birendra Jha at Niramay Indore India Eye Care offers this advanced approach.

What is Bladeless LASIK?

Bladeless LASIK, also known as Femto-LASIK, employs a femtosecond laser to make the thin flap of cornea that is lifted off before the second laser reshapes the corneal tissue underneath. Instead of a blade to create the flap, the flap is created with rapid, precisely controlled laser pulses. This gives a greater degree of accuracy in planning the thickness and shape of the flap for each person’s eye.
The second step of the procedure, that is the reshaping of the cornea with an excimer laser, remains the same as in standard LASIK, the main difference being specifically in the way the first corneal flap is created.

Who is a Candidate for Bladeless LASIK?

Bladeless LASIK may be a good option for patients who: • Documented stable myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism for at least 1 year
• Pachymetry-confirmed adequate corneal thickness
• Normal, regular shape of the cornea on topography, no signs of keratoconus
• No significant dry eye disease or active corneal infection.
• Refraction stable, usually above age 18
• Discuss realistic expectations of outcomes during consultation.

 Why Patients Prefer Bladeless LASIK

Patients come to our eye clinic in Indore for bladeless LASIK because of: 

• Dependence on eyeglasses or contact lenses for day-to-day living
• Inability to tolerate extended wear of contact lenses
• a career or a way of life where glasses are impractical
• Spectacle power frequently changing, affecting confidence in vision
• An interest in a more accurate, blade-less surgical approach.

Pre-Procedure Assessment

As any refractive procedure, the candidacy of bladeless LASIK is ascertained only after corneal topography, pachymetry, aberrometry and dry eye assessment. This evaluation is a must as doing the surgery on a cornea that is not suitable can lead to complications, a responsible eye surgeon in Indore will always prefer this evaluation over just agreeing to do the procedure.

Bladeless LASIK Procedure

The procedure is performed under topical anesthesia and usually takes only a few minutes per eye. A femtosecond laser first creates a thin flap in the cornea, which is then lifted very carefully. An excimer laser then reshapes the corneal tissue underneath, according to the correction that was planned in advance. The flap is then replaced and does not need to be stitched.
Typically post-procedure care involves:
• A short course of lubricating and anti-inflammatory eye drops.
• Protective glasses for the first recovery period
• Avoid rubbing eyes and keeping them dry for a period of time
• Schedule follow-up appointments to check on healing and visual recovery.
