In technical collaboration with the Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Institute,
Moscow,
The Sangubashi Eye Clinic, Shimouma, Tokyo, has developed a Flapless Lasik
( corneal abrasion is made only by a broad beam laser, and does not use
any knife or surgical instrument ) myopic refractive surgery using only
excimer laser.
The Fyodorov Institute has conducted more than 100,000 cases of PRK treatment
since 1987.
In brief, Flapless Lasik is myopic refractive surgery, by flattening the
convex curve at the center of the cornea through abrasion of an optical
zone of about 6.7 mm in diameter with an volume three
demention excimer laser.
Due to using Flapless Lasik, we reached a high accuracy rate in refractive
effect more than 93% and make it to 100% by regenerative tissue control
after abration.
It is highly safe and effective.
Depending on the degree of myopia and corneal thickness, the depth and
the area of abrasion differ for different patients.
In cases of extreme myopia and very thin cornea, Flapless Lasik re-operation
may be called for.
The following combinations may be considered in such cases:
(1) If the cornea is thin, RK (Radial Keratotomy) surgery would be done
first, to change the curvature, before going on to Flapless Lasik treatment.
(2) Also AK (Astigmatic Keratotomy) refractive surgery first, if corneal
astigmatism is severe (2.50 D or more), and then
Flapless Lasik.

Process of Lasik |
 |
First of all make a flap from the cornea by microkeratome. |
 |
After the flap is opened, the cornea is abrased by an tiny scanning Excimer laser.
The corneal flap is returned to it's original position.

 |
This shows the flattened curvature of the cornea. |
