Shows a new way of using a femtosecond laser for refractive surgery. This is all-femtosecond lasik procedure, called FLEx or Femtosecond Lenticule Extraction. Unlike traditional femtosecond lasik, as with an intralase, where a femtosecond laser is used to make a flap, and the lenticule is ablated with an excimer laser, this procedure involves creating a lenticule and flap with the femtosecond laser, and then physically extracting the lenticule. It promises a safer, more accurate and cheaper laser vision correction procedure. This video has been provided by Dr. Rupal Shah, Vadodara, India.
Photoablation is more precise.

@cgwmail I am afraid that you are not spot on. Photoablation depends on corneal hydration, environmental conditions, and so on. It also needs several shots at the same place to acheive refractive correction. Small errors in ablation depth per shot accumulate over time. In our experience, cutting with the femtosecond laser is generally more precise

I love this completely new way of doing LASIK. Congratulations!
