Germany Eye Association released a few days ago said the number of German research agencies are to taste trial a FLEx named the new femtosecond laser technology to correct eye refraction, treatment of myopia.

communique said that the treatment of myopia is one of the mainstream of excimer laser for the treatment, also known as LASIK. The methods were first lamellar corneal cutting knife incision in the cornea and the corneal flap was started, and then exposed to laser irradiation of the corneal stroma and cutting in order to correct refractive error, corneal flap and then reset the last to complete the operation.

femtosecond laser is the only 10-per-duration power of negative 15-second pulse laser. Marburg, Germany, Mainz and the University of Erfurt and other places or Hospital of the researchers, the use of computers and microscopes accurately control the depth of laser focus and the operations process, in accordance with the required precision cutting corneal refraction, corneal stroma and then set off the outer surface of the corneal flap, previously cutting out under the corneal stroma, the corneal flap can be reset.

The communique points out that German researchers have used this new technology to implement the 300 cases of surgery, and that the technology for treatment of myopia and astigmatism, near visual acuity results of excimer laser correction surgery. German Ophthalmological Society of the expert also believe that, with the doctor surgical experience, the new technology expected to improve the therapeutic effect.
