LASIK Laser Eye Surgery Blog at Eye Surgery USAFriday, September 18, 2009IntraLase LASIK Eye Correction Surgery
The IntraLase Method uses tiny, rapid pulses of laser light to create your corneal flap instead of using a metal blade during the first step of LASIK. Each pulse of light passes through the top layers of your cornea and forms a microscopic bubble at a specific depth and position within your eye that is determined by the doctor. The IntraLase laser moves back and forth across your eye, creating a uniform layer of bubbles just beneath your corneal surface. Just prior to applying laser vision correction, the doctor creates your corneal flap by gently separating the tissue where these bubbles have formed. The corneal flap is then folded back so the doctor can perform the second step of your LASIK treatment.

Thursday, March 26, 2009Vision Correction without a Blade?
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.

Friday, January 30, 2009IntraLase Method vs Microkeratome Method
What's the difference? The microkeratome is a hand-held instrument, which contains a steel blade that moves back and forth and creates a cut as it travels across the cornea. A microkeratome is only capable of making a single, one-dimensional cut across the cornea. As it cuts, the blade oscillates back and forth, which can leave an irregular surface after the flap is lifted. This can affect the quality of your postoperative vision. Because of the unique way in which the IntraLase Method creates a precisely positioned layer of bubbles just beneath the surface of your eye, it creates a smooth even surface after your flap is lifted. With the IntraLase Method, a blade never touches your eye. Technology is always advancing, that's why it's important to use resources like Eye Surgery USA to stay abreast of emerging technology in the eye correction industry.

Monday, September 15, 2008How is the IntraLase Method different from Epi-LASIK or photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK)?These procedures differ from one another in the way they prepare the surface of the cornea for the second step of LASIK. Epi-LASIK uses an epikeratome-a blunt separator-to make a superficial flap. Similarly, photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK) is performed by gently scraping the surface layer of the cornea, which may lead to corneal scarring. Both the Epi-LASIK and PRK procedures can be painful and require more postoperative medication. In addition, healing times may be longer than with procedures performed with the IntraLase Method.
