Femto Z LASIK in Cape Town

What Is FEMTO Z-LASIK?

FEMTO Z-LASIK: Blade-Free Laser Eye Surgery That Delivers Results

FEMTO Z-LASIK offers cutting-edge laser eye surgery that corrects common refractive errors like myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), and astigmatism.

Surgeons use a femtosecond laser to create a precise, blade-free corneal flap. They then reshape the cornea using advanced laser technology to restore clear vision. This approach ensures a safer procedure, faster recovery, and highly accurate outcomes.

Globally, eye specialists have performed over 15 million FEMTO Z-LASIK procedures. Backed by 30+ years of innovation, this technology holds the most extensive FDA approvals for wavefront-guided LASIK.

That’s why FEMTO Z-LASIK remains a global leader in personalised laser vision correction.

There are two steps in femto Z LASIK eye laser procedures

FEMTO Z-LASIK: Blade-Free, Personalised Vision Correction in Cape Town

Step 1: Creating the Corneal Flap (100% Blade-Free)
The first step of FEMTO Z-LASIK uses the Intralase femtosecond laser to create a thin corneal flap. This modern technique is completely blade-free. Your eye surgeon gently folds back the flap to prepare for the second step.

Step 2: Precision Laser Eye Correction
Next, our advanced Schwind AMARIS laser with 7D tracking technology reshapes your cornea. This corrects your eye’s unique visual imperfections. Since every eye is different—like a fingerprint—we use Wavefront diagnostics before surgery. This allows for a fully customised laser treatment plan tailored to your eyes.

Why Choose FEMTO Z-LASIK?
Traditional LASIK uses a microkeratome blade, which can lead to rare complications. FEMTO Z-LASIK eliminates this risk with its blade-free approach. Patients experience:

  • Painless, bloodless surgery

  • Fast visual recovery

  • Better low-light and night vision

  • Fewer halos and glare

  • Less chance of regression or needing repeat treatments

Proven Safety and Results
FEMTO Z-LASIK with Ziemer Z8 and Schwind AMARIS technology is among the safest options worldwide. Even NASA astronauts and U.S. fighter pilots qualify for this procedure—thanks to its unmatched precision and safety record.

This procedure is especially beneficial for patients with irregular astigmatism or thin corneas.
