Blade-Free IntraLASIK

Safer Procedure, Better Results

Thanks to the development of the Intralase femtosecond laser, there now exists a 100% blade-free method of LASIK - resulting in more accuracy, better results, and greater patient comfort.

The Intralase laser is the most current advancement in blade-free technology, bringing even greater accuracy and precision to this phase of the procedure.  Operating at speeds of one quadrillionth of a second, the laser creates microscopic bubbles at a predetermined depth of your cornea, saving the structural integrity of your corneal tissue.  The bubbles then join together to create a smooth and seamless flap, which is easily folded back to allow for treatment.

Advantages of Intralase:

1. Increased Safety:
Because there is no blade variability with the IntraLase procedure, there is little or no risk of flap complications. The all-laser approach allows our doctors to design the flap specifically to your eyes and visual needs.

2. Increased Precision:
IntraLase offers the ability to create a flap of uniform thickness at a pre-programmed depth. Variations in flap thickness may result in a variation of your visual outcome. With IntraLase we know with greater precision what depth the flap will be, and we are able to preserve the most corneal tissue following the procedure, leaving each patient with a stronger, more stable eye.

3.  Better Results:
In FDA studies, patients treated with the blade-free Intralase method had higher instances of 20/20 or better vision after their procedure.
