Bladeless LASIK Information at Eye Surgery USA

You've heard about the revolutionary vision correction surgery that doesn't involve the use of a blade?

Blade-less LASIK

It's safe, convenient and very popular. The idea of a blade "cutting into" the eye has been a huge fear for many people who have considered LASIK and may have also been the reason for people to not go through with the procedure.

The truth is that, although LASIK is a procedure that uses a laser to correct vision, the procedure still requires a blade called a microkeratome to cut a hole in your cornea so the laser can pass through and make the correction. Think of it as a scalpel for the eye.

With IntraLase, there's no blade cutting the eye to make the corneal flap, instead just like a laser used to make corrections to the inner cornea, a laser is used to cut the flap on the outer cornea.
