Blade free all-laser Lasik
Blade free all-Laser LASIK–now available in LaserVision Dublin and Belfast
Blade Free, all-Laser LASIK has become the method of choice for those who seek the best vision correction available.
The Ziemer FEMTO LDV™ laser represents the next level of excellence in flap creation with a femtosecond laser. Using its ultra-fast, tightly focused, low energy laser beam, microscopic bubbles are created precisely at the intended depth within the cornea. The laser pulses are delivered through a lens which the surgeon is holding against your eye.
This causes the layers of the cornea to separate thereby creating a LASIK flap of the desired thickness, size, orientation and location, unique to each patient’s needs. The bubbles disappear immediately after the flap is lifted, creating a smoother surface and allowing the next step of the procedure to begin without any waiting time.
This tremendous level of control and customization makes our Blade Free LASIK Experience safer, speeds visual recovery, makes our patients more comfortable, and contributes to better visual outcomes.

- Enables even faster healing and recovery rates than standard methods of the creation of the protective flap.
- Can improve precision and visual results of LASIK, whether you choose to have a standard or Wavefront procedure.
- The corneal flap can be tailored for each individual patient, and each individual eye
