Introducing SOFT,
the latest treatment for vision correction
SOFT (Surface Optimized FEMTO Technique) is a modern, laser-based method for vision correction that works directly at the corneal surface of your eye. It combines the precision of the well-established CLEAR technology with a gentle, surface-level treatment approach.
It is designed to treat a wide range of diopters, providing flexibility to meet the individual needs of different patients. It can correct a variety of common vision problems, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. This broad treatment range allows healthcare professionals to tailor the treatment to each patient’s specific vision correction needs, helping support a more personalized treatment experience.
SOFT At A Glance

4 steps to better vision
1. Personal Consultation & Eye Mapping
During your consultation, your eyes are carefully measured and examined to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
2. Laser-Based Lenticule Creation
In the treatment room, numbing eye drops ensure a painless experience. A femtosecond laser then creates a precise, lens-shaped layer, called a lenticule, within the corneal surface.
3. Lenticule Removal
Your surgeon then gently removes the lenticule. The laser's low-energy technology helps keep tissue disruption to a minimum throughout this step.
4. Fast Recovery
Thanks to the low energy technology and the precision of the FEMTO Z8 laser, the procedure is minimally invasive, supporting a quicker healing process. Many patients notice an improvement in their vision within just a few hours.

Treatment in Around 10 Seconds
The Surface CLEAR procedure takes approximately 10 seconds, offering a fast and precise treatment experience with a consistent procedure time.

Gentle on Your Eyes
Surface CLEAR uses an advanced laser approach without deeper corneal tissue ablation, helping to avoid the heat build-up associated with conventional treatments.

A Smooth and Precise Procedure
The treatment creates a small lenticule within the cornea, which can be gently removed in one clean step for a controlled and precise correction.
Ziemer Tech Advantage
Swiss Made
The first Swiss Made femtosecond laser for eye surgery was made available by Ziemer in 2008. Since then millions of procedures have been completed around the world.
Trusted Technology
Ziemers precision is aided by a fully integrated by our OCT-based intraoperative imaging and a stable vacuum system for enhanced accuracy and safety to ensure a smooth, controlled procedure.
Precision
Ziemer’s precision ensures outcomes that are reliable and consistent, helping patients see the world more clearly than ever before.
Low Energy
Ziemer's technological edge is in the development of low energy femtoscond lasers. The advantage of low energy is reduced stress to the cornea and ultimately a smooth, flap-like removal of the lenticule.
