Z-LASIK IS THE GENTLE WAY TO RESTORE SHARP VISION!

If you're looking for accurate, safe and comfortable lase refractive surgery, Z-LASIK is the procedure of choice for you.
Z-LASIK corrects your vision using laser surgery from beginning to end. No scalpel will touch your eyes. The risk of complications is reduced even further as compared to previous techniques.
And the quality of post-operative vision is better than with with any other method.

Have your vision corrected the gentle way and benefit from the most innovative technology for laser eye surgery available today.

In the past: Blade-assisted flap cutting
The traditional method of laser vision correction, the LASIK procedure, requires a mechanical blade to make an incision in the top layer of the corneal tissue prior to the correction itself. Millions of such corneal flaps have already been created using this safe technique. But sometimes the blade produces a rough corneal surface that can affect the quality of vision. Apart from that, many people decide not to undergo this procedure because they are uncomfortable with the idea of their eyes being touched by a blade.

Today: Laser-assisted flap creation
For several years now it has been possible to create the flap using a so-called femtosecond laser. This means that no blade is involved in the procedure. Patients feel more comfortable, and the result is even better. Over one million patients have already undergone bladeless laser eye surgery.

Z-LASIK: The future of bladeless laser surgery
Z-LASIK is the most advanced innovation in bladeless surgery. This procedure uses a high-frequency laser. It is designed to create truly customized flaps, precisely, safely and pain-free Its beam is a 100 times less intense than that of the first-generation femtosecond lasers. Never before have safety, accuracy and patient comfort in laser eye surgery been so good, as proven by 100,000 successful Z-LASIK treatments.

Faster Visual Recovery		Total procedure time shorter
With Z-LASIK, visual recovery is markedly faster. Most patients will begin to see clearly 1-2 hours after the procedure is completed, and on the next day will be seeing close to optimum vision.		With Z-LASIK, total procedure time is reduced from 20 minutes on average to a mere 10 minutes. This is because the 2 steps of the procedure (femto laser flap creation and excimer laser) have been integrated. There is no waiting time and no moving from one laser to another. With Z-LASIK, the surgeon controls the optics of the laser increasing accuracy and reducing contact time with the eye. Ziemer technology uses an incredibly fast sequence of tiny light pulses to generate the smooth surface in the corneal tissue that is required for optimal vision correction. Within the few seconds required to create the corneal flap, the Ziemer femotsecond laser will place an almost unimaginable number of 400 million tiny, closely spaced gas bubbles inside the cornea.

Reduced Occurrence of Dry Eye syndrome
Dry Eye Syndrome is a minor side effect of LASIK (it is observed in 4% of all treated eyes). With the gentler Z-LASIK procedure, the incidence of Dry Eye Syndrome is further reduced.

Thinner Flaps
Due to the high precision of the Z-LASIK procedure, thinner more predictable flaps can be created. Higher degrees of Myopia, Astigmatism, and Hyperopia can be treated with confidence.

Reduced inflammation:		Larger Treatment Zones
Z-LASIK technology uses light pulses with much lower pulse energy. Higher pulse energies used in other technologies can cause inflammation which may affect your vision and may cause pain for a few days. Such inflammatory response can be treated with medication and will not cause a permanent harmful effect. However, in Z-LASIK no such adverse reactions have been reported.		With Z-LASIK larger treatment areas are created which allow for improved quality of vision, especially at night or in conditions of poor lighting. Few patients have experienced halo effects (circular reflections around light sources at night time) with refractive procedures, but with Z-LASIK, this undesirable phenomenon will be an even rarer.

Z-LASIK® IS DIFFERENT!

Compared to other femto-LASIK procedures based on older femtolaser technology, Z-LASIK offers many advantages that lead to better results:

Z-LASIK has an extremely low impact on the eye: The procedure takes only a few minutes per eye. The time the laser is in contact with the patientâ€™s eye is reduced to a minimum.

Z-LASIK is comfortable and painless: The patientâ€™s head is not fixed during the procedure.

Z-LASIK also helps in severe cases: Thanks to the extremely high frequency of the laser pulses, the layers of the cornea are separated with unprecedented precision, creating an ultra-thin flap. Z-LASIK is therefore effective in patients who were previously not candidates for laser surgery. This includes patients with extreme myopia or thin corneas.

No inflammation: The laser energy used for Z-LASIK is about a 100 times less powerful than with other laser procedures. This is more gentle to the corneal tissue and prevents temporary inflammatory reactions of the eye.

Fast result: The recovery period is considerably shorter than for other techniques. Patients are usually able to see well within a few hours.

Fewer side effects: Z-LASIK enables the sugeon to enlarge the treatment zone. This reduces the risk of undesirable side effects such as dry eyes, deteriorated night vision or haloes (rings of light that surround point sources of light).
