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.

Eyesight Facts and Fiction

Eyesight Myths

It's important to know fact from fiction when it comes to your eyesight and how to prevent eye problems. Knowing how to take good care of your eyes is the first step to protecting your sight for a lifetime. Here are some common myths, courtesy of the Prevent Blindness America organization, that most people assume are truths.

Myth: Failure to use proper glasses will hurt your eyes.

Fact: This statement does have some truth for a small number of people. Some children have eye problems that can be corrected, and it is important that they wear their glasses. While corrective glasses or contacts are needed to improve eyesight, using your eyes with or without glasses will not damage them further.

Myth: Reading in dim light can damage your eyes.

Fact: Reading in dim light can cause eye fatigue, but it will not hurt your eyes.

Myth: Eating carrots will improve your vision.

Fact: While it is true that carrots are high in Vitamin A, which is an essential vitamin for sight, only a small amount is necessary for good vision.

Myth: There's nothing you can do about preventing sight loss.

Fact: Regular eye exams and proper safety eyewear can save your sight.

Myth: An eye exam is only necessary if you're having problems.

Fact: Everyone should follow a proper eye health program that includes a regular eye exam, whether or not they're having any noticeable signs of problems.

  • Freedom from the need to carry and wear eyeglasses
  • Eliminate the constant need for purchasing expensive lens care solutions and contact lenses
  • The ability to enjoy excellent vision while swimming or participating in sporting events - as always, check with your surgeon to see how long you should allow to heal before undertaking any such activities
  • Increased personal confidence!

Some of the more popular procedures include LASIK, LASEK / E-LASIK, Epi-LASIK, Wavefront LASIK, IntraLase and PRK Laser Surgery.

Realistic Expectations for Corrective Eye Surgery

It's important to have realistic expectations when going in for your LASIK surgery. The last thing you want to do is set yourself up for disappointment by creating unrealistic expectations for your surgery and the results.

What To Expect from Your Corrective Eye Surgery


You should expect to see much better after LASIK than before, however, you shouldn't expect to see perfectly. Everyone's eyes and issues are different, so results vary from patient to patient. Keep in mind, even the best surgeons in the world can't promise 20/20 vision and you should be wary of any surgeon who makes promises they can't keep.

Always keep a good perspective when it comes to LASIK and other vision correction surgeries.

What's the difference between an ophthalmologist and optometrist?

Both ophthalmologists and optometrists are commonly referred to as "eye doctors", however there are differences between the two.

  • Doctors of Optometry complete four years of post-graduate optometry school.
  • Optometrists examine eyes for vision and health problems, prescribe glasses, and fit contact lenses. They also prescribe many ophthalmic medications and often participate in pre- and post-operative care.

  • Ophthalmologists, on the other hand, attend medical school and have acquired a medical degree. Ophthalmologists are trained to provide a full spectrum of eye care, from prescribing glasses and contact lenses to complex and delicate eye surgery for specific conditions and diseases. In addition to medical school, every ophthalmologist completes a one-year internship and must spend a minimum of three years in residency.

These are important distinctions when you're looking for the right specialist to perform your Corrective Eye Surgery. Take advantage of the many resources available free to you on Eye Surgery USA, including:

  • Articles on Corrective Eye Surgery
  • Ask An Expert tool which allows you to ask an expert surgeon your questions
