2024年8月1日 · Bladeless LASIK uses all-laser technology to treat refractive errors. It differs from traditional LASIK because of the tools used to create the flap. Instead of using a specialized blade (microkeratome), the surgeon deploys a femtosecond laser, an advanced and high-energy laser. It increases the precision of the procedure.

2024年10月31日 · Traditionally, LASIK was performed using a blade, but the bladeless option is becoming more common. The primary difference between the two LASIK types is how the surgeon creates the corneal flap. Outside of the creation of the flap, both types of …

2024年11月18日 · Blade-free LASIK offers improved accuracy and more reliable safety standards to significantly improve vision. If you are looking for safer surgery, faster recovery and better visual outcomes, discuss blade-free LASIK with your doctor.

2024年12月13日 · Bladeless LASIK, or “all-laser” LASIK, creates the flap using a femtosecond laser. The procedure typically uses iLASIK and Intralase. Many surgeons favor bladeless LASIK over bladed LASIK because it offers consistent results and excellent visual outcomes. However, bladeless procedures cost about $200 to $400 more than bladed procedures.

2019年2月27日 · Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler and Dr. Vance Thompson debate LASIK flap creation with a traditional microkeratome (blade) or a femtosecond laser.

2024年7月8日 · Bladeless LASIK, also known as all-laser LASIK, is an advanced form of LASIK eye surgery that uses a femtosecond laser instead of a traditional mechanical microkeratome blade to create the corneal flap.

2024年5月29日 · Bladeless LASIK is a vision correction surgery offered to individuals who do not wish to undergo traditional LASIK surgery. Learn about bladeless LASIK here.

There are some practices that no longer offer blade LASIK, and have gone to a bladeless LASIK model for all of their patients— typically claiming that it is safer or that it gives the LASIK surgeon some unique ability to create an ultra-thin flap.

Bladeless LASIK is named because there is no microkeratome used. Instead, the incision needed to create the flap is made using a high-energy, femtosecond laser. This laser emits pre-programmed short pulses of energy that form the incision.

The Bladeless LASIK option utilizes a precise, high-energy femtosecond laser instead of a microkeratome blade to create the flap of corneal tissue. Since being invented in the 1990s, the femtosecond laser has been incredibly successful.
