Ultralasik vs Femtolasik? The difference
Hello,
I was told by a clinic employee that contoura vision can be performed using either UltraLasik or Femtolasik, is this true? I thought contoura vision had an independent kind of laser, but it's apparently used on top of existing laser techniques
If the above is true: (ultralasik vs femto) what is the difference? which is safer? which is more advanced? which has less dry eye effect?
thanks

Contoura vision is a topography guided laser procedure. When compared to femto lasik,in ultra lasik a very thin corneal flap is created by laser thus the precision is more.
With regards to which is more safer or effective it completely depends on your case,your corneal thickness,your refractive error etc.
