Introduction
CLEAR is a next-generation laser vision correction technique that uses Corneal Lenticule Extraction to treat nearsightedness (myopia), with or without astigmatism. This flapless, minimally invasive procedure is performed using the Ziemer FEMTO Z8, a Swiss-made laser system known for its exceptional precision and low-energy treatment profile. CLEAR redefines patient comfort and surgical safety, offering a cutting-edge alternative to traditional LASIK.
At Shreya Eye Centre, East Delhi’s leading destination for refractive surgery, CLEAR is performed by renowned eye surgeon Dr. Rakesh Gupta, ensuring superior outcomes with the latest technology and techniques.
Causes Treated with CLEAR
CLEAR is recommended for individuals suffering from:
Myopia (nearsightedness) – where distant objects appear blurry
Astigmatism – where vision becomes distorted due to an irregularly shaped cornea
These conditions, known as refractive errors, are common causes of poor vision and dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Symptoms Indicating You May Need CLEAR
If you experience the following symptoms, you may benefit from CLEAR:
1. Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly
2. Frequent need to change your glasses prescription
3. Headaches or eye strain from prolonged screen or reading time
4. Discomfort or lifestyle limitations from wearing spectacles or contact lenses
How CLEAR Works
The CLEAR procedure is simple, precise, and effective:
1. A femtosecond laser creates a tiny disc-shaped piece of tissue (called a lenticule) within the cornea.
2. Through a small incision, the surgeon gently extracts this lenticule.
3. This removal alters the shape of the cornea, thereby correcting the refractive error.
The result is improved visual acuity with minimal disturbance to the upper layers of the cornea.
Types of Laser Technology Used
CLEAR is exclusively performed using the Ziemer FEMTO Z8 laser system:
Nenojoule laser technology for ultra-precise cuts
Advanced scan patterns for smoother outcomes
Low energy use that ensures minimal corneal stress
This laser system enables a single-laser, flapless procedure that enhances patient safety and post-operative comfort.
