This technique carries risks, although rare, but we only use the femtosecond laser for our corneal flaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Moria One Use Plus microkeratome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">It allows for ultra-thin cuts (90 microns thick).<br>The Moria One Use Plus Micro Keratome is superior to other <strong>Lasik<\/strong> equipment due to its safety in terms of asepsis. In fact, all of its consumables are single-use.<br>At the Centre Vison Laser Hauts-de-France, we do not use microkeratectomies.<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Femtosecond Lasik<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The femtosecond laser allows for the creation of a thin, reliable, and reproducible flap. This procedure is 100% laser. The main advantages of this laser eye treatment are faster visual recovery, reduced procedure time, increased safety during surgery, and even more precise procedures, as well as a reduced risk of dry eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the flap is created, the visual defect correction must be performed with an Excimer Laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The excimer laser corrects myopia and other visual defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@centre.vision.las\/video\/7572619783787564320\" data-video-id=\"7572619783787564320\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@centre.vision.las\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@centre.vision.las?refer=embed\">@centre.vision.las<\/a> <p>Voici une explication comment se d\u00e9roule l&rsquo;op\u00e9ration au laser sur vos yeux : <a title=\"chirurgier\u00e9fractive\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/chirurgier%C3%A9fractive?refer=embed\">#chirurgier\u00e9fractive<\/a> <a title=\"lasik\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/lasik?refer=embed\">#lasik<\/a> <a title=\"soindesyeux\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/soindesyeux?refer=embed\">#soindesyeux<\/a> <a title=\"lasik\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/lasik?refer=embed\">#lasik<\/a> <a title=\"visionparfaite\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/visionparfaite?refer=embed\">#visionparfaite<\/a> <a title=\"centrevisionlaser\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/centrevisionlaser?refer=embed\">#centrevisionlaser<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c son original - Centre Vision Laser\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/son-original-7572619820181523233?refer=embed\">\u266c son original &#8211; Centre Vision Laser<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PKR (Photorefractive Keratectomy)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PRK is a well-established laser surgery that reshapes the cornea to improve vision.
