Flow3 is a modern flap-free laser vision correction procedure used to correct myopia and astigmatism without creating a corneal flap or making incisions in the cornea.
The goal of the procedure is to correct vision in a way that preserves as much of the eye’s natural structure as possible and supports long-term visual stability. Individual suitability is always determined during a comprehensive pre-procedure eye examination.
The optical zone is the central area of the cornea that is reshaped by the laser to ensure clear vision.
With Flow3, it is possible to plan larger optical zones compared to traditional flap-based methods such as LASIK and SMILE. This can help support better visual quality in different lighting conditions. The exact suitability and planning always depend on the individual characteristics of the eye.

Over the past 15 years, we have consciously focused on flap-free approaches. This decision is based on our clinical experience and the analysis of long-term patient outcomes.
