What is Z-LASIK?

Z-LASIK Z- is the gold standard in LASIK

(Lasik: Laser assisted in-situ keratomelusis) is the most advanced refractive procedure available that corrects near-sightedness and astigmatism by gently reshaping the cornea and changing the focusing ability of the eye. It reduces the Dependence on Glasses and Contact Lenses.

Z-LASIK®method – The Premium LASIK Procedure

LASIK vision correction is a two-step procedure.

Step 1 - Flap Creation

With FEMTO LDV™ laser
During the first step, the femtosecond laser creates an ultra thin flap in the cornea by applying millions of tiny laser spots. Thanks to the laser this occurs precisely within one hundredth of a millimetre according to the requirements defined by earlier diagnostic tests. The need for a blade is eliminated – the whole procedure is completely blade-free! The flap, remaining hinged on one side, is then gently folded back and the eye is ready for step two.

Step 2 - Vision Correction

With Excimer Laser
Now another laser performs the actual correction of the corneal tissues directly under the flap to correct your refractive error. It only takes a few seconds– then the flap is put back in place, where it adheres naturally.

THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE TAKES ONLY A FEW MINUTES AND IS PAIN-FREE
IN CONVENTIONAL LASIK, a blade is used to make the flap. Z-LASIK however uses the FEMTO LDV™ femtosecond laser to create the flap. It makes the whole procedure completely blade-free and enables the surgeon to tailor the procedure according to the very unique characteristics of each patient. A truly personalized, painless and safe treatment!
With Z LASIK, the flap resection is created at the required depth which results into:

• Natural curvature flap edges
• Smooth, Self-sealing flap edges
• Flaps can be easily lifted
• Truly  customizable flap creation 
• Excellent stroma bed quality
• No opaque bubble layer, or transient light sensitivity

How Z-LASIK Z is different from others

In traditional LASIK, microkeratome cuts a thin, hinged flap into the eye's clear surface (cornea). The microkeratome is a hand-held instrument, which contains a steel blade that moves back and forth and creates a cut as it travels across the cornea. A microkeratome is only capable of making a single, one-dimensional cut across the cornea. The flap then is lifted for application of laser energy that reshapes the eye for vision correction.

Z Lasik directs laser energy precisely to create a thin, hinged flap, which then is lifted temporarily from the eye's surface or cornea. In Z Lasik , the surgeon uses computer software to guide the Femtosecond Laser beam, which applies a series of tiny bubbles within the central layer of the cornea just beneath the surface of your eye. The resulting corneal flap is created at a precise depth and diameter ‘pre-determined by the surgeon'. With Z-LASIK Z you have the flexibility to really individualize the LASIK flap. This new Z-LASIK method performs the resection in a three-dimensional mode. Each flap can be customized to accommodate the desired geometry

Ziemer Z6 is the bladeless lasik machine of the future. Its performance is unparalleled by any other bladeless lasik system in the world. Consider a simple thing – the safety, efficiency and accuracy of a bladeless lasik system depends upon the frequency at which it operates.

Intralase I LASIK system operates at a frequency of 150 Khz and are sensitive to the room temperature, humidity and other environmental variables.

The ZEISS bladeless system operates at a frequency of 500 Khz hence is more efficient and gentle to the eyes than Intralase.

The ZIEMER Z6 bladeless system operates at a frequency of 20,000 (twenty thousand) Khz and hence is extremely safe, accurate and gentle on the eyes than the other systems.

Z Lasik System is 133 times better than Intralase LASIK and 40 times better than Zeiss System.

Standard pulse rasters by CONVENTIONAL LASER SYSTEM:

An incomplete resection may lead to tissue bridges: the flap cannot be easily lifted and there is more mechanical stress on the eye.

In other old femto laser layer size high energy spots are given which causes collateral damage to the tissue with form of large air bubbles which can shift on interior or exterior in the tissues & surgery can be postponed or deferred for sometime. The uncut areas are left & flap has to dissected with blunt dissector, the quality is not smooth & optical quality.

High Density pulse raster by Ziemer’s Femto LDV Systems:

The precision optics, the custom made laser sources and a proprietary high speed scanning system generate tightly focused low-energy laser pulses in an overlapped pulse raster.

High speed low energy small super imposed spots are delivered which causes minimum gas bubbles with smooth optical quality form without any ankaterious.

This results in a complete and smooth resection with no interstitial, un-dissected spaces and minimal complications.

What are the Advantages of Z-Lasik?

The major advantage of Z-Lasik over conventional LASIK is that the entire vision correction treatment is performed by a laser. The use of a mechanical microkeratome using a blade to make an initial incision into the cornea is no longer required. LASIK using femto-seconds lasers has been available for more than 5 years, and more than 2 million LASIK procedures using the femto-second laser have been performed successfully all over the world. It provides the most accurate and safest treatment for your eyes.

EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS

The experience gained from countless Z-LASIK treatments shows that a vast majority of patients

• Did not find the treatment uncomfortable or painful.
• Achieve perfect vision without glasses.
• Are more satisfied with the outcome than they expected.
• Normally see well than they did before with glasses.
• Would choose this method again and recommend it to others.
