Femto second Laser • Femto second Laser employs near- infrared pulses to cut tissue with minimal collateral tissue damage (mode-locked, diode pump, neodymium- glass laser) • Infrared wavelength range, at 1053 nm • It uses a spot size of less than 3 micron • Produces tissue disruption at a specified and precise level within the corneal stroma • Femto second has different applications in ophthalmology • Its major use at present is cutting flap in LASIK surgery
Femto LASIKGeneral Comments • The most common application of femto second • Introduced in 2002 • Started in practice 2006 • Allow light to pass from the tissue without damage to the tissue
Femto LASIKPatterns • Raster or spiral pattern→ bed • Peripheral circular →posterior-anterior
Femto LASIKFlap creation • The depth of the flap is typically set at 100±10 micron • Studies have shown that the standard deviation of flap thickness is around 14. • The flap diameter is typically set to about 9.0mm.
Femto LASIKMajor advantagefemto second overmicrokeratome • Flap criteria • Accuracy of flap thickness • Refractive outcome • Capability and choice of -Cutting thin flap (90 µm) -Different diameter, -Hinge position -Hinge length • Safety and predictability • Absence of moving parts • ↓Complications • Improved staff and physician satisfaction
Femto LASIKFlap criteria • Quality of flap edges • More regular (flap and Bed) • Peripheral and Center
Femto Lasik • Accuracy of flap thickness (Actual and expected) • LDV→depth→90→100→110→140 micron • By change of inter shield • α< 5% variation 107.43±4.70 µm • Hansatome 125.90±17.5 µm
Femto LASIKRefractive outcome • UCDVA≥20/20 91.7% →Femto LDV 88.5% →Handsatome RE Femto LDV →+0.5 Diopter →Plano 87.5% Handsatome→ +0.5 Diopter →Plano 84.6%
Femto LASIKPossible Advantages • Fewer higher order aberrations • Less astigmatism • Better contrast sensitivity • Less epithelial ingrowth • Lower enhancement rate • Less dry eye
Femto LASIKDisadvantages • High price • Large physical size • Lack of portability • Speed and the time needed to prepare the flap
Femto Lasik • Surgical technique and operation -Pre operation evaluations -During operation -After operation
Femto LASIKSurgical technique • Pre-op evaluation -Patient selection -Machine preparation -depth -size -hinge
Femto LASIKSurgical technique • During operation -Patient's position -Hand piece position -Centering -Suction (enough IOP) -Laser
Femto LASIKSurgical technique • After operation -edge release -lifting of the flap -ablation -repositioning of the flap
Femto LASIKSurgical technique • Special points -Suction release and re cut -Bridges -Gas bubbles -IOP -Duration
Femto LASIKSurgical technique • Gas bubbles -interface →Opaque media -rare →deep stroma→ tracker -rare → subepithelial loss of vacuum Button hole -rare → Between cornea and hand piece -rare → in A/C
Femto LASIKIOP During flap preparation • Intralase → 135±6mm Hg • Visual Max → 65±20mm Hg • Femtec → 205±32mm Hg • Femto LDV→ 184±28mm Hg • Maximum IOP → 260±53mm Hg in interlase
Femto LASIKSurgical technique • Duration: *Cutting time: -Femto LDV 25 seconds -Intralase 31 seconds *Suction time: -Femto LDV 82±22 seconds -Intralase 70±15 seconds

Femto LASIKComplications • Absence of usual complications -Buttonhole -Small flap -Free caps -Irregular cut -…………….
Femto LASIKComplications • Suction breaks • Incomplete flaps • Thin flaps, tears • Increased postoperative inflammation • Persistent bubbles • Decentered flaps • Slipped flaps
Femto LASIKSpecial complications • TLSS (transient light sensitivity syndrome) • Gas bubble • DLK (lamellar inflammation) • Glare
Femto LASIKTLSS • Occur days to weeks after femto second • Extreme photophobia • Good V.A • Absence of clinical findings • Response of keratocyte • Inflammatory response to surrounding tissue to gas bubble • Topical corticosteroid
Femto LASIKIn special case • Post Lasik –PRK • Post R.K- A.K • Corneal scar • Post P.K
