Developed by Ziemer Group (Switzerland) - Europe's leading group in ophthalmic medical equipment, the CLEAR parenchymal lamellar separation method treats nearsightedness and astigmatism according to international standards, helping vision recover quickly with a total treatment time of only about 15 minutes. Saigon Vinh Eye Hospital is proud to be the only hospital to deploy CLEAR technology to customers in Nghe An and the Central region.

CLEAR (short for Corneal Lenticule Extraction Advanced Refractive correction) is a method of treating refractive errors (nearsightedness-astigmatism), using only one modern Femtosecond laser in the entire surgery on the FEMTO LDV Z8 system, manufactured in Switzerland.

Considered the most advanced generation of laser myopia surgery, CLEAR's advantage is that it does not create a corneal flap like conventional techniques, minimizing the impact on the corneal surface and thus preserving the absolute biomechanical stability of the cornea.

In Vietnam, the representative of Viet Can Trading and Service Joint Stock Company - the exclusive distributor of the FEMTO LDV Z8 surgical system said that the four advantages and superiority that the CLEAR method brings are:

- Absolutely no corneal flap, minimally invasive;

- Minimize complications, highly effective in treating myopia and astigmatism;

- Gentle and soothing during surgery;

- Fast treatment and recovery time;

In particular, the FEMTO LDV Z8 surgical system has a low laser pulse energy level combined with a high pulse repetition rate, which helps minimize damage to corneal tissue and creates a smooth cutting surface for CLEAR technology; supporting optimal treatment quality as well as the ability to restore the patient's vision more quickly.
