What is Femto LASIK?
Femto LASIK (Femtosecond LASIK) uses a femtosecond laser — firing at one quadrillionth of a second per pulse — to create a perfectly uniform corneal flap. This replaces the older mechanical microkeratome blade. The excimer laser then reshapes the cornea for vision correction. Femto LASIK at FIO Hospital uses the ZEISS VISUMAX femtosecond laser combined with the ZEISS MEL 90 excimer — the world's most precise LASIK platform.
How Femto LASIK Surgery Works
ZEISS VISUMAX Flap
Femtosecond laser creates flap at exact pre-set depth. Takes 20 seconds per eye. Zero blade contact.
ZEISS MEL 90 Ablation
Excimer laser removes tissue to your prescription profile. 1050Hz eye tracker follows any eye movement.
Flap Self-Seals
Repositioned flap adheres naturally within minutes. Surface cells reseal overnight.
Morning Vision
Driving-standard vision by next morning for 95% of patients.

Femto LASIK vs SMILE Pro — Making the Right Choice
Femto LASIK and SMILE Pro both use femtosecond technology — but differently. Femto LASIK: creates a flap then reshapes cornea. SMILE Pro: no flap, removes lenticule. Both achieve excellent vision. SMILE Pro has less dry-eye risk; Femto LASIK is slightly faster. FIO Hospital offers both — your pre-op evaluation determines which is more suitable for your cornea.
