A new, minimally invasive procedure for vision correction is here!!

The New LENTICULE application with the FEMTO Z8 is called CLEAR.

Corneal Lenticule extraction (CLEAR) is considered as the next generation of lenticule applications. The refractive correction is done by a single laser: the Ziemer FEMTO Z8 laser. CLEAR is rapidly becoming popular among patients all over the world because of its numerous advantages over any other type of refractive eye surgery and its excellent success rate.

How is CLEAR Performed?

With both surgeries having laser-guided technology in common, the actual methods are quite different.

In LASIK, a corneal flap is created using a microkeratome blade or a femtosecond laser, which is then opened. An excimer laser is applied to alter the cornea’s curve. The flap is placed back once the process is complete.

However, in CLEAR, no corneal flap is created. The femtosecond laser cuts a small disc-shaped piece of tissue (Lenticule) within the cornea. The surgeon then extracts the Lenticule through a small incision in the surface of the cornea. The upper layer of the cornea remain unaffected during the CLEAR procedure The removal of the Lenticule causes the shape of the cornea to change, which corrects your vision.

CLEAR Advantage

The biggest advantage many see with CLEAR compared to LASIK is the lack of a flap. By decreasing the incision size almost down to 2 mm for lenticule removal, several problems associated with the flap are taken care of. CLEAR has no pain, or only for a short period of time, and there are no problems with flap dislocation.

CLEAR METHOD

LASIK vs. CLEAR Refractive Eye Surgery

The main difference between LASIK and CLEAR procedure is, CLEAR does not use an Excimer laser to remove the corneal tissue. The Femto Laser technology is 10 times gentler than an Excimer laser which reduces the chances of inflammation.

If proper post-operative care is taken, all the drops prescribed by your ophthalmologist are used regularly, the total recovery will not take more than a week before you will be ready to go following your normal lifestyle.

LASIK Conventional Method	CLEAR Revolutionary Method
Uses an excimer and femtosecond laser	Uses only a femtosecond laser
Risk of dry eye symptoms	Less risk of dry eye symptoms
Requires postoperative restrictions	Slightly faster recovery than LASIK
Requires a corneal flap	Does not require a corneal flap.It’s a Flapless procedure

Why Choose CLEAR ?

Low risk and Quick Procedure which is safe and effective.
Minimal downtime. Patients can get back to their daily activities, including exercise, within a few days.
Quick and relatively painless Patients can return home the same day as the procedures
Shorter recovery time Patients will have 20/20 vision within one to two days. Since there is no flap involved, the recovery period too is relatively less.

Key Features of Femto Z8

This latest Lenticular application CLEAR is an integrated part of the FEMTO LDV Z8 platform.

Ultra-precise laser delivery system
Equipped with unique precision optics, the FEMTO LDV Z8 lasers offer the exceptional precision you would expect from a Swiss laser.
Small and accurate laser spots
Ziemer lasers work with small overlapping spots with an efficient Mhz repetition rate
Low energy technology
Due to the hand piece and the low energy technology, the laser works very close to the eye and therefore puts the energy precisely where it’s needed.
