femtosecondelaserassisted
Femtosecond laser assisted is a term that describes a surgical technique utilizing an ultrafast laser with pulse durations measured in femtoseconds. A femtosecond is a quadrillionth of a second. This incredibly short pulse duration allows for highly precise and controlled tissue interaction, minimizing collateral thermal damage compared to longer pulsed lasers.
The primary application of femtosecond laser assisted technology is in ophthalmic surgery, particularly for procedures like
In refractive surgery like LASIK, femtosecond lasers are used to create a corneal flap or to perform
