How does Femto LASIK work?

Femto LASIK uses two advanced lasers to reshape your cornea with precision. First, a femtosecond laser creates a thin flap in the cornea. Then, an excimer laser reshapes the underlying tissue to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.

Finally, the flap is repositioned to heal naturally. The entire procedure takes 8–10 minutes per eye, is pain-free with anesthetic drops, and offers vision recovery within 24–72 hours.

Everything went very smoothly — the appointments, examinations, and follow-up. After a year I’m still very satisfied and so happy I no longer have to put in and take out contact lenses.

FAQs on Femto LASIK in Belgium

Learn about Femto LASIK laser eye surgery at Medifocus Leuven (Belgium).

Femto LASIK is a two-step laser eye procedure. A femtosecond laser creates a thin corneal flap, then an excimer laser precisely reshapes the surface underneath to correct myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. At Medifocus, Femto LASIK is performed using the ZEISS VisuMax femtosecond laser and the MEL 80 excimer laser.

The treatment takes approximately 10 minutes per eye. Most patients can see clearly again within 24 hours and are able to drive. Full visual stability is typically reached within 1 to 4 weeks following the procedure. Medifocus schedules follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery every step of the way.

Most adults aged 20–50 with a stable prescription and healthy eyes are eligible for Femto LASIK. Adequate corneal thickness is also essential for safely creating the flap. Exact eligibility is confirmed during a thorough pre-operative assessment at Medifocus Leuven, including corneal topography and refraction testing.

Femto LASIK is very safe but, like any laser eye surgery, carries minimal risks such as dry eyes or temporary halos. Using CE-approved lasers, precise corneal mapping, and experienced surgeons, we keep complication rates extremely low and ensure full follow-up support.

Both techniques correct vision effectively, but in different ways. ReLEx smile is flap-free with faster healing; Femto LASIK can treat a broader range of prescriptions. There is no universally better option — your eye anatomy and prescription determine which delivers the best outcome. Medifocus discusses both during the pre-operative assessment.
