'No Touch' Laser Treatment
This method differs from LASIK in that a corneal flap is not created. There is no cutting of the cornea to create a flap.
The laser in 'one-step' removes the epithelium (surface layer) and does the laser correction concurrently. This technique precisly removes
the epithelium allowing for faster healing and the manual aspects of the PRK procedure are
minimized, making it a '
no-touch' procedure.
Equipment
The procedure requires a new generation of lasers, the "
Schwind Amaris 750S Excimer laser" which
is specific for this kind of treatment. In addition it is fast, strong, precise and safe.
This unique laser is conveniently available at Dr Bassel Francis's clinics.
