IntraLase© LASIK is a safer and faster way for LASIK to be done. Removing the need for blades during the procedure, instead using precision lasers, IntraLase© LASIK can reduce recovery time, limit the number of potential risks, and increase efficacy and results.
Learn more about how IntraLase© LASIK can help you and your vision.
Bladeless Means More Precision
Traditional LASIK uses small blades to create corneal flaps, which your ophthalmologist can pull back to reshape the lens underneath. The difficulty with this process is that it offers less precision when compared to laser-mediated flap creation.
A greater precision during the flap creation process and the reshaping and manipulation of the tissue underneath results in faster recovery.
IntraLase© LASIK Means Fewer Opportunities for Risks and Complications
A study identified 22 types of complications that can arise during traditional LASIK and found 18 for IntraLase© LASIK. Not only does traditional LASIK have greater complications, but the chance for these complications is also higher.
IntraLase© LASIK had a lower incidence rate in both severe and nonsevere complications.
