Dear G
Yes, we use the Ziemer (Crystal Line) femtosecond laser to create a precise flap, move it out of the way, then use the WaveLight excimer laser to reshape the cornea to correct the vision.

As I understand it,you have the flap cut, and then the process on the eye. My question is can one have the Ziemer cut flap, and then the wavefront treatment?
There seems to be a plethero of terminoligies, and I am not clear on this point.

Hi,

Could you tell me the difference between the z-laser and the 5th Generation iFS Intralase laser that the Centre for Sight uses?

Thanks

hi! just the same as submitted by someone earlier. there are various ptice comparisons on your website but no definate prices. i have been for an assessment before to optimax as the advert seem very attractive however after the consultation price per eye for Lasek treatment foreach eye was coming to around £850. they told me i have a -4.75 prescription for laser in both my eyes. can you tell me how much the treatment would cost me approximately? Lasik and Lasek?
many thanks

We would need to see your prescription first of all, but treatment may well be possible. Please email your most recent full prescription numbers to info@focusclinics.com.
Thank you. David

I am extremely interested in Z lasik as I am -10 in both eyes but have a high degree os astigmatism which makes me unsuitable for normal laser treatment. Will Z lasik be a possibilty for me?
