IntraLase Corrective Eye Surgery Procedure

The IntraLase Method is a 100% blade-free technique used to perform the critical first step in the LASIK procedure: creating the corneal flap. The creation of the corneal flap prepares the eye for the second step of the LASIK procedure, where an excimer laser is used on the inner cornea to correct vision.


There are several benefits to using the IntraLase Method:

• Better vision. More patients in clinical trials achieved vision that was 20/20 or better when their LASIK procedure was performed with the IntraLase Method. And patients report better quality of vision overall, particularly in terms of their ability to see well in low light such as at dusk or at night.
  
  
• The ability to tailor the procedure specifically to your eye. The IntraLase Method gives your doctor the ability to tailor the unique dimensions of your corneal flap based on what's best for your eye. Everything from the diameter of your flap to the angle of its edges can be precisely determined. This is important because every one's eyes are shaped a little differently. Having a corneal flap that's individualized to the patients specific needs contributes to excellent postoperative results. In addition, a corneal flap created with the IntraLase Method also "locks" back into position like a glove after the LASIK procedure is performed.

The IntraLase method is the most technologically advanced method available in the industry today. Use the Eye Surgery USA Surgeon Locator tool to find the best LASIK Laser Eye Surgeons in your area.
