There are two important steps to LASIK
eye surgery. In step one, your doctor
creates a micro-thin flap of tissue
on the outer layer of your eye, also
known as the cornea. The flap is important
for rapid healing, greater comfort
and better vision. If it is too thick,
too thin, or irregular, it could affect
the quality of your vision. Although
complications with LASIK surgery are
rare, when they do occur, they are
often associated with the use of a
hand-held microkeratome blade in Step
One.
IntraLase makes LASIK surgery better by replacing your doctor’s hand-held
microkeratome blade with a computer-guided laser that delivers micron-level
accuracy over 100 percent greater than a microkeratome.* This gives you
the greater assurance you need that Step One of LASIK eye surgery will be
accurate, safe and a first step towards giving you the best LASIK result
possible.
In step two, your doctor folds open
the flap so that an excimer laser
can be used on the inner cornea to
correct your vision. Your flap is
then returned to its original position
where it seals without stitches.
Step one is important to faster healing,
greater comfort and better vision.
The INTRALASE® laser is a more
precise and safer method for creating
the flap in Step One and is an essential
component to making both standard
and custom LASIK surgeries better.
