No-cut no-touch Flow procedure

Flow laser procedure is 100% blade-free, correcting the eye with a laser beam only.

Flow is a no-touch surface laser procedure complex, which combines the advantages of various blade-free procedures. Flow laser procedure is performed with a laser only and no cuts are made to the cornea. This results in a smoother recovery, reduces the likelihood of complications and enables you to resume an active life as quickly as possible.

One advantage of Flow is also that the risk of dry eyes, redness and corneal traumas is reduced to a minimum.

The lifestyle restrictions resulting from the procedure are generally liſted as early as aſter one week of recovery, which is why the solution is suitable for active people.

HOW DOES FLOW WORK?

A successful procedure requires precise tests and eligible candidates. Before we give you the permission to undergo a laser procedure, we perform a thorough examination and measurement of your eyes. We examine the general health of your eyes and use diagnostic equipment designed specifically for the procedure.

Prior to the procedure we conduct dozens of measurements, investigate different parameters of vision and provide you with a thorough consultation in order to exclude all circumstances that may put the safety of the procedure into question.

The measurement results are entered into the laser procedure planning soſtware. On the basis of these data, the technology determines the working area of the laser, the exact location thereof on the eye and the profile required for changing the shape of the cornea. Contemporary laser technology is extremely precise: the thickness of the layer to be polished is calculated with an accuracy of one micrometre.

Flow is quick and painless to the eyes. During the procedure you may experience only some slight discomfort, hear the sound of the laser device and detect a characteristic smell resulting from the polishing of the cornea.

Aſter the procedure, your eyes will be protected with special ultra-thin contact lenses that promote oxygen permeability to allow for a quick and convenient recovery. Contact lenses are removed aſter 6-7 days.

Immediately aſter the procedure your eyesight will be sufficiently clear to move around safely. On the day of removal of the contact lenses, your vision will be clear enough to resume an active lifestyle. 100 % visual acuity is generally reached in a few weeks and maximum quality of vision gradually over 2-3 months.

Eligibility

Flow is above all designed to treat short-sightedness, i.e. myopia and astigmatism. The procedure can be used to correct combined shortsightedness with up to 9 dioptres. The best age for the medical manipulation of eyes is between 20-45 years of age and the same applies to Flow.

The no-cut approach to the cornea ensures that the procedure is as comfortable as possible to the eye and immaculate visual acuity and contrast. KSA Vision Clinic’s experience and many scientific studies confirm that the procedure gives better results than a laser eye procedure performed with a microkeratome even over the long-term. Thanks to a technology that goes easy on the eyes, the strength of the different layers of the eye and visual acuity and stability will be at a completely new level both during the day and night.
