The Low Energy Concept: A Key Advantage

One of the standout features of the CLEAR procedure is the Low Energy Concept. Ziemer is known for inventing the concept of low energy femtosecond laser. This approach minimizes tissue damage and the inflammatory response, which promotes faster visual recovery. The low energy levels used during the procedure result in less disruption to the corneal structure, reducing post-operative complications and enhancing patient outcomes.

In 2014, a study done to evaluate the tissue damage and cell death due to femtosecond laser revealed that corneal cell death was largely absent when using the low energy laser of Femto LDV when compared to the VisuMax platform which caused cell death.

Special Features of CLEAR

The Ziemer laser systems, integral to the CLEAR procedure, offer several advanced features:

Pioneering Next Generation of KLex

For the various inventions and innovations introduced in the Femto LDV Z8 system, the CLEAR® procedure is widely regarded as the leader of next generation kerato-lenticule extraction procedures. Before the introduction of CLEAR® in 2019, KLex was performed with high energy lasers with non-overlapping laser spots and no control over cyclotorsion. Moreover, visual axis centration was also not possible.

CLEAR® ushered the generation change in KLex procedures and has been instrumental in the upgradation of KLex technology. The clinical success of CLEAR® has pushed refractive surgery towards the era of next generation lenticule procedures, namely, CLEAR®, SMILE PRO®, SiLK® and SmartSight®.

Immediate Recovery Coupled with Ultimate Safety

The CLEAR® procedure stands out from its predecessors because of its quick recovery and superior post-surgery comfort. Imagine undergoing an eye surgery today and seamlessly transitioning back to your daily life tomorrow! The flapless nature of the CLEAR® Procedure further enhances its safety quotient, positioning it as a leading choice among modern spectacle removal surgeries.

Bladeless, Painless, and Flapless: The Future is Here

CLEAR stands as a beacon of modern medical innovation by delivering a bladeless, painless and flapless experience. Eliminating the discomfort often linked with injections, the procedure employs eye drops for numbing. Within a concise span of 10 minutes, a lenticule of corneal tissue is crafted using advanced laser technology and subsequently removed through a micro opening which seals within hours. It leaves your eye as safe as it was never touched.

The Sophistication of the Femto LDV Z8 Laser Machine

Central to the CLEAR procedure's success is the sophisticated Femto LDV Z8 Laser Machine. With an ergonomic handpiece and patient interface, it keeps patients' comfort and surgical experience at its centrepoint. This, coupled with unmatched accuracy and precision makes CLEAR® the obvious choice for your spectacle removal.

Addressing the Concern of Dry Eyes

A common post-operative issue in many eye surgeries is the onset of dry eyes. However, with the CLEAR procedure, this concern sees a significant reduction, further amplifying its esteemed position in the field.

CLEAR Eye Surgery Cost in India

The cost of CLEAR eye surgery ranges between Rs 1,00,000-1,30,000 in India, for both the eyes. It can vary depending upon the hospital and the surgeon.

Final Thoughts

The CLEAR Procedure represents a significant advancement in vision correction, offering the possibility of clear sight within 24 hours. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to thoroughly understand the risks and benefits before proceeding.
