The smoothest dioptre removal ever- never easier and safer for the perfect vision

Laser surgery has never been this fast and painless, and with the development of technology it is of a better quality today and safer procedure all adults with healthy cornea and stable dioptre ranging from -10 to +6 and ± 6 cylinders can undergo.

The value, as well as the success of this procedure, is proven by the fact that it is the most executed and worlds most demanding operation. Over the last 30 years, more than 50 million people have gotten rid of dioptres with laser treatments.

Keeping up-to-date with state-of-the-art technology

Over the past two decades, for as long as dioptric laser surgery technology is present in this part of Europe, Eye Clinic Svjetlost has been a leader in technological equipment and experience.

Since the first laser removal of dioptre in this area, which was carried out in 1998 by our prof. Nikica Gabric until this day, several generations of lasers that made the evolution in operative methods have showed up.

Femtosecond lasers introduced a new step in the safety of operations by replacing the use of an electronic micronaire to create a cornea flap in the first stage of the procedure. From 5 types of such lasers, the Clinic Svjetlost has operational experience with four.

The advantages of the femtosecond method are especially evident in cases of high refractive errors, astigmatism, and thinner corneas.

Surgical complications have been eliminated, the likelihood of “dry eye” has been reduced, and better healing has been enabled.

The refractive error is removed with an excimer laser.

In the second phase of the FemtoLASIK procedure, the refractive error is removed using an excimer laser.

The Svjetlost Clinic in Zagreb and Split is equipped with the Schwind Amaris, considered one of the most technologically advanced excimer lasers on the market.

In addition to its high operating speed, important for the precision of the correction, it also features an exceptionally narrow laser beam, enabling a smoother and higher-quality shaping of the corneal surface. Another distinctive feature of this laser model is its 6D eye-tracking system, which monitors eye movement during surgery and guides the laser in milliseconds, ensuring a precisely programmed result.

The FemtoLASIK method, creates the flap and the Schwind Amaris laser to reshape the cornea, is today one of the most advanced and most commonly performed methods of laser vision correction.

SmartSight – the latest generation of laser vision correction

With advances in technology, patients today also have access to the SmartSight method of laser vision correction.

Unlike the FemtoLASIK procedure, the SmartSight method does not require creating a corneal flap. A femtosecond laser shapes a thin layer of tissue within the cornea, which is then removed through a small incision, making the procedure minimally invasive.

SmartSight allows for fast healing and recovery and represents an excellent option for many people with myopia and astigmatism.

The decision as to which method is most suitable, FemtoLASIK or SmartSight, is made after a detailed examination, during which the ophthalmologist assesses the structure of the eye, corneal thickness, refractive error, and the individual needs of each patient.
