Intralase method for a Blade-Free Lasik Experience

We know that the decision to have a Lasik Surgery is a big one, so we take great care to determine what's best for you as our patient that's why we offer a Blade-Free Lasik treatment using the Intralase method.

With the Intralase Method, pulses of laser light create your corneal flap, which is then lifted so the next step of Lasik-the Reshaping of your cornea- can be performed.

When your Lasik treatment is over, the flap is securely re-positioned into place.

This Bladeless, computer-guided technology is 100% more accurate than most of the mechanical Microkeratomes (hand-held device with a thin metal blade) that surgeon may also use to create a corneal flap.

Intralase assurance and comfort:

The IntraLase method has been used successfully on hundred of thousands of eyes and we trust this advanced technology to deliver exceptional results.

Our commitment is to provide you with the ultimate in comfort, safety and outstanding vision.

LASIK with Intralase can help you achieve all of this - while it delivers the added assurance of knowing you're being treated with the most advanced technology there is.

Lasik performed with Intralase is preferred by patients

In a survey of clinical practices, the vision in the intralase-treated eye was preferred up to 3 to 1 by patients over the vision in the mechanical blade-treated eye (among these who stated a preference).

LASIK performed with Intralase delivers Superior Visual Results:

In a clinical study comparing the Intralase Laser to the Leading Microkeratome, more patients achieved 20/20 vision or better in standard and custom Lasik Surgery when the Intralase Method was used to create the corneal flap.

How the Intralase Method Works?

Unlike mechanical instruments, Intralase technology is uniquely able to program the dimensions of your flap based on what's best for your eye. Then the Intralase Laser creates your flap from below the surface of the cornea - without ever cutting it. How?

•  Ultra-fast pulses of laser light position microscopic bubbles at a precise    depth determined by your doctor.

•  The laser light passes harmlessly through your cornea. Then the laser     creates rows of these bubbles just beneath your corneal surface as it     moves back and forth across your eye in a uniform plane.

•  Next, the Intralase Laser stacks bubbles around your corneal diameter to    create the edges of your flap. These bubbles are stacked at an angle that is    determined by your doctor and is individualized to the way your eye is    shaped.

•  The process takes only about 30 seconds from the start to finish. It's quite    and it is comfortable.

•  Your doctor then gently lifts the flap to allow for the second step of your    Lasik treatment. When treatment is complete, the flap easily "Locks" back    into position and rapidly begins to heal.

Because of the superior accuracy of the Intralase Method, certain patients who were in illegible for Lasik may now be able to have treatment. Ask your doctor today if you are a candidate.
