The best feature of SupraLASIK™ is that is in fact NOT LASIK thereby giving it distinct advantages over all the other LASIK procedures. This makes it one of the safest forms of laser eye vision correction available anywhere in the world today.

SupraLASIK™ does not require any cutting or flap therefore it is actually NOT a surgical procedure unlike IntraLASIK or other LASIK procedures. The fact that it does not require any cutting into the cornea confers the many advantages and extremely high safety profile of this procedure.

SupraLASIK™ is performed using the Schwind Amaris excimer laser. This is one of the most sophisticated‚ precise and advanced lasers used in eye surgery in the world.

The procedure usually takes under 60 seconds per eye to perform where there is virtually no contact with the eye itself. The laser simply reshapes the cornea to completely correct shortsightedness (myopia)‚ longsightedness (hyperopia)‚ astigmatism and all other irregularities in the cornea which may affect vision (higher order aberrations).

SupraLASIK™ utilizes all the available advances in laser vision correction optimization such as wavefront customized treatment plans. This means that‚ if required‚ the treatment will not only correct the complete eyeglasses prescription you may have but it also corrects any irregularities you may have in your cornea. This further adds to the precision and refinement of visual outcomes from this procedure.

IntraLASIK‚ UltraLASIK or in fact any other LASIK procedure involves cutting the eye to create a corneal flap. This can be done with a blade or with a laser (eg. IntraLASIK). SupraLASIK™ corrects your vision without any cut into the cornea. This has several advantages since it makes the procedure much safer‚ more comfortable and quicker than other LASIK procedures. Avoiding cutting into the cornea also reduces the impact on corneal nerves created by the procedure. This helps significantly reduce the incidence of dry eye after this procedure which is one of the main complications of other LASIK procedures. Reducing post–treatment dry eye is of great importance not only to ensure long term comfort for the patient but also to help ensure long term stability of vision and reduce the risk of regression.

Once your eye has healed and recovered from the procedure‚ the cornea heals almost completely back to how it was prior to surgery except for the fact that you can now see clearly without glasses. There is almost no evidence of having had the procedure such that even an eye specialist would find it hard to tell unless you informed them beforehand or they specifically check for it with a corneal scan. Also the eye is not any weaker than prior to surgery if it were ever to sustain an injury. In fact it would behave the same way to injury before or after surgery. This is in contrast to other LASIK procedures‚ where direct high force injury to the cornea can displace or even amputate the corneal flap even decades after the original procedure. This is of particular relevance to people playing contact sports or that may be involved in direct contact activities such as members of the armed forces‚ police or certain professional athletes.

The German developed and produced SCHWIND AMARIS laser systems are deemed‚ also by independent experts‚ to be the highest standard among eye lasers for refractive surgery. Above all‚ patients profit from their strong features since treatment with the SCHWIND AMARIS laser systems is not only significantly faster‚ more precise and safer than ever before – it is also considerably more pleasant.

The SCHWIND AMARIS laser systems provide all features of modern laser technology. And they offer even more‚ because in the SCHWIND AMARIS laser systems groundbreaking innovations have been materialized – such as the ablation with two energy levels or the unique eye tracking system. So far‚ these features have not been available in any other device.

Using the Schwind Amaris‚ our ophthalmologist provide advanced and customized laser eye surgery using latest technologies‚ such as the Wave front guided Tortional eye Tracker which can track even the slightest eye movements in the x‚ y and z axis. All these technologies are incorporated into the SupraLASIK™ treatment.

No. Eye drop anesthesia is applied several times before the procedure to numb the cornea however since SupraLASIK™ does not involve any cutting into the eye and almost no touching of your eye during the procedure‚ it is extremely comfortable. The only sensation reported is often that of the saline fluid used at the end of the procedure to keep the cornea wet and clean.
