Femto LASIK Mumbai explainer clarifying that Femto and Bladeless LASIK refer to the same flap-creation method, with comparison to standard LASIK and SMILE.
Femto LASIK and Bladeless LASIK are the same procedure naming convention: a femtosecond laser creates the flap instead of a mechanical blade. The key advantages are improved flap precision and strong reproducibility compared with older microkeratome workflows.
