What is Femtolyzer?
In fact, it can be said that femtosecond lasers play the role of "ultra-precise laser knife" in modern corneal surgery; With micron control, programmable cutting pattern and minimal tissue damage. Why "laser knife"? • No physical contact. Cornea in Fico (multiplanar architecture)
• Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK / DSAEK / DMEK)
• Arcuate keratotomy for astigmatism
• Intrastromal ring channels in keratoconus
📌 Key point:
The incisions are clean, without thermal necrosis, with excellent edge alignment → better healing and less scarring.
⸻
⚠️ Important limitations (realistic)
• High cost
• Dependence on correct docking
• Not completely replacing the surgeon's sense of touch
• In scar tissue or severe edema: less efficiency

🧩 Expert summary
• Manual razors = skill-oriented tool
• Femtolaser = precision-oriented tool
• The future of corneal surgery = Hybrid approach
Laser design + fine-tuning by the surgeon's hand
