This laser-only operation is known as femto-LASIK.
Ziemer's LDV Crystal Line laser (Made in Switzerland) is a femtosecond laser that can produce a fine corneal flap of 110 microns using calibrated energy at ultra-precise points on the cornea (micron scale).
This laser avoids the (rare) complications that can occur in certain centres that still use a mechanical microkeratome.
