The ophthalmologist is responsible for determining the most appropriate treatment, as <strong>not all techniques are suitable for every patient<\/strong>, and the safety and effectiveness of the procedure depend on making the right choice.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we explain the main <strong>techniques in which the femtosecond laser is used for myopia<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Femtosecond_Laser_in_the_LASIK_Technique\"><\/span>Femtosecond Laser in the LASIK Technique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the <strong><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">LASIK<\/span><\/span> technique<\/strong>, the <strong>corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser<\/strong>, which is the initial phase of the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>This<strong> flap is a thin layer of corneal tissue<\/strong> that is lifted to allow access to the inner layers of the cornea, where the refractive correction is subsequently performed. The use of the <strong>femtosecond laser in this step<\/strong> allows for <strong>greater precision in the thickness, diameter, and position of the flap<\/strong>, improving the safety and control of the procedure.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Femtosecond_Laser_in_the_ReLEx_SMILE_Technique\"><\/span>Femtosecond Laser in the ReLEx SMILE Technique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the <strong>ReLEx SMILE technique<\/strong>, the femtosecond laser is used to<strong> create and extract the corneal lenticule<\/strong>, which is the tissue responsible for correcting myopia.<\/p>\n<p>During this process, the<strong> femtosecond laser<\/strong> acts within the cornea to <strong>generate the lenticule with high precision<\/strong>, which is then removed through a small incision. This step is key within the procedure, as it allows the corneal curvature to be modified and the refractive error to be corrected.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-492529 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rahhal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/what-is-femtosecond-laser-used-in-myopia-surgery-clinica-rahhal.png\" alt=\"what is femtosecond laser used in myopia surgery clinica rahhal\" width=\"1522\" height=\"868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rahhal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/what-is-femtosecond-laser-used-in-myopia-surgery-clinica-rahhal.png 1522w, https:\/\/rahhal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/what-is-femtosecond-laser-used-in-myopia-surgery-clinica-rahhal-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/rahhal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/what-is-femtosecond-laser-used-in-myopia-surgery-clinica-rahhal-1024x584.png 1024w, https:\/\/rahhal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/what-is-femtosecond-laser-used-in-myopia-surgery-clinica-rahhal-768x438.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1522px) 100vw, 1522px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#eff1f4&#8243; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;4%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;5%&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; row_position_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_femtosecond_laser_myopia_surgery_work\"><\/span>How does femtosecond laser myopia surgery work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Myopia surgery with a femtosecond laser<\/strong> is an <strong>outpatient, quick, and highly precise<\/strong> procedure that is tailored to the surgical technique indicated for each patient.<\/p>\n<p>Although all techniques aim to correct the refractive error to improve vision, the way the procedure is<strong> performed varies depending on the selected method<\/strong>.
