Hashmanis Group of Hospitals is one of the few laser eye hospitals in Pakistan – to offer this new treatment for laser vision correction. This device saves a patient’s corneal tissue through thinner, smoother, and more uniform flaps.
The Zero Compression Microkeratome is the best and safest way to create a flap. Its procedure saves corneal tissue by creating a smoother and thinner flap with less swelling. This device minimizes any wrinkling of the flap by lid movements, is gentler on tissues, reduces chances of epithelial erosions (corneal abrasion), and it also allows quicker visual rehabilitation.
The Zero Compression Microkeratome is beneficial for those who have large pupils, high prescriptions, or thin corneas. It also offers a high degree of safety that is gentle on tissues, avoiding many surface complications. Most importantly, this new device creates excellent quality flaps, making this step a safe component for LASIK surgery.
