One of its types is ULTRA LASIK.

What is ultra-Lasik?

Ultra-Lasik, ensures the highest level of precision and safety in corrective eye surgeries.

Ultra-Lasik with the help of the custom Wavefront device, can create an ultra-thin corneal flap instead of the traditional microkeratome that caused many complications.

With its high-speed pulse, it allows great accuracy in finding and creating the ideal flap location.

So, when the Excimer laser passed beyond the flap, it can easily reshape the cornea into the perfect curve, correcting the refractive error present almost immediately and with ultimate safety.

Then the flap is put back into place, creating a self-bandage to heal itself and prevent many traditional complications.
