Femtolaser (Femtosecond or Intralaser)
A new frontier in refractive surgery is the laser made to pulse in femtoseconds, using infrared light with spots the size of a few microns and for an ultra shorter time as compared to excimer lasers.

The action of femtosecond lasers (or femtolasers or intralasers) determine a very precise treatment with maximum safety linked to the nonmechanical action of the incision, a minimum volume of ablated tissue and highest repeatability of the results (Figure 1).

The characteristics and benefits of the femtosecond lasers:
- does not require smoothing
- suction is controlled by the computer through a system of pedal activation and stop.
- highly precise incisions
- an algorithm with a tracker-friendly pattern.

Innovative Applications
The laser is pulsed for a femtosecond and is used in astigmatism correction. The action of the femtolaser is ideal for the astigmatic cornea thanks to the formation of the curved flaps at the desired thickness, with a perfect control of the incision, thickness, diameter and length of incisions (Fig.2), the perfection of the incised edges for a Lasik which allows a precise thickness with errors at around 10 micron with width, diameter, and hinge position of the same variable (Fig. 3).
The pulsed laser is used also in keratectomy. The femtolaser is used to prepare the tunnels for the insertion of intrastromal rings for keratectomy; the pulsed laser allows greater facility in preparing the incision, a depth of 600 micron and a greater control of the variability of the parameters (Fig.4).
The femtolaser may also be applied to keractoplastic surgery, in preparing perfectly round incisions up to 1200 micron, and reducing the post-surgery corneal deformation to the minimum. (Fig.5). |
