Brief Answer:
Lasik surgery
Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for emailing your query to us.
There are two aspects of technology which you must understand, that's why there may be some confusion.
There is a wavefront technology where by computerised mapping we try to reduce aberations to minimum.
Bladeless surgery is where a flap is made,not by knife but by laser so it is more even and with no regged edges..So it becomes a better and costlier option than blade lasik.
You should have a combination of the two and have the best of both, have wave front technology and bladeless flap.
Any further query to reduce confusion please do get back to us.

The bladeless procedure suggested is Femto-LASIK . So shall I go for the same. ?
Also, with 4 numbers, I hope the method is safe and chances of getting numbers back are less.
Also , with the said technology, would I be able to work from the second day?
Are there any complications associated with this technology?

My dear,

Femto Lasik is a good safe technology. Recurrence of power is not related to amount of power and 4 to8 is a good power to operate.with excellent results. It is a safe surgery and chances of recurrence are. very rare.
You are supposed to see very well next day. There may be small issues of watering from eye and frequent instillation of eye drops.So be prepared to work next day on important projects only.
Any further queries please do get back to me.
