No need to wait for Schwind's laser which is still in development. I believe the Ziemer laser used for your Z-LASIK will remain at the front of the pack for quality of flap creation. I recommend to go ahead, if you are happy with the reputation and skill of the surgeon. Regards, Dave Hi Huslin. No need to wait for Schwind’s laser which is still in development.

Recently I heard about nanosecond lasers produced by Schwind company for flap-creation. Though they are not available in my country, yet. Are they good enough to wait? Hi Dr Allamby,

I will soon have Z-Lasik operation. Recently I heard about nanosecond lasers produced by Schwind company for flap-creation. Though they are not available in my country, yet. Are they good enough to wait?

The cost would be £1645-£1745 per eye for blade free wavefront LASIK at Focus. WIth regards Dave Mr Singh

You want the best procedure and results with your lasik operation, so I can only recommend blade free wavefront LASIK. It will be 20-25 years before you need glasses for reading and we cannot know how we will correct presbyopia in 2034! It will certainly be very different from today so no need to think about this in 2009. Dave Dear Mr Singh

Also I have astigmatism so would it cost extra to fix this or is it within the price?

My prescription is: R sph-6.00 cyl-2.25 axis 170.0, L sph-6.00 cyl-2.00. If I have to do the laser eye surgery again when I am 40-50 yrs old is it better to have the cheaper type of laser surgery done now and then have the most expensive type done later? or is it best to get the most expensive one done first?
