A Blade Free Approach
Elizabeth Miller, MD

The FEMTO LDV is the most advanced and accurate technology available today for creating the corneal flapÖthe important first step in your LASIK procedure.

A novel, proprietary process for flap creation, Ziemer's FDAapproved FEMTO LDV offers a more precise, gentler, bladefree approach to creating and lifting back the thin flap in the cornea.

Conventional LASIK is a very safe, effective procedure. In fact, Dr. Elizabeth Miller has treated thousands of patients with the traditional approach and technology, including both of her daughters. As a highly skilled surgeon, the risk of complications in her hands is very rare. However, all surgery carries some degree of risk.

With Ziemer's FEMTO LDV ALL-LASER LASIK, Dr. Miller now has the technology to achieve impeccable accuracy in her ability to produce flaps of near perfect proportion.

The FEMOTO LDV works by generating tiny, rapid pulses of laser light that create a minuscule layer of bubbles that help the surgeon separate the flap edge for easy lifting. The bubbles disintegrate instantly once the flap is lifted.

For some patients, a blade-free approach gives a sense of well being with less apprehension going in for their surgery. Feel free to discuss this surgical option with Dr. Miller as you schedule your LASIK procedure.
