INTRALASE® FS LASER

There have been many advances to Refractive Surgery since LASIK was first approved in 1999. Now, the evolution of Refractive Surgery introduces the IntraLase Method(tm) also known as all-laser LASIK or IntraLASIK(tm) and this could make a difference in your decision about having the procedure.  The IntraLase® Method is a 100% blade-free approach to creating a corneal flap. The IntraLase Method, has been shown in clinical studies to provide more patients with 20/20 vision or better and also to lessen corneal ingrowth.

The computer-guided IntraLase® laser delivers rapid pulses of light, a quadrillionth of a second each, to your surgeons settings based on the shaping of the patients eye. Each pulse forms a microscopic bubble. As the IntraLase laser creates a raster across the eye, the bubbles connect to form a corneal flap. The flap is created under 25 seconds per eye. The IntraLase® laser is not only blade free but also more comfortable for the patient pressure wise compared to the bladed microkeratome.
