Femtosecond lasers are increasingly present in ophthalmologic surgical theaters for a variety of reasons. These include faster and better visual outcomes, increased accuracy and predictability for corneal flap thickness in laser in situ keratomileusis procedures. Recent applications of modern femtosecond lasers have broadened the range of uses: keratoplasty, intrastromal segment insertion and even glaucoma and presbyopia surgery. This device profile provides an overview of the advantages of femtosecond lasers in ophthalmic surgery, paying special attention to the new VisuMax® femtosecond laser from Zeiss/Meditec.
