LASIK has always involved two steps:
making a flap and reshaping the
cornea with
the excimer laser. Because we are dedicated
to providing our patients with the best
possible vision, we use the IntraLase
femtosecond laser to make the flap, thereby
making LASIK an ALL-LASER procedure.
In seconds, with computer precision and
high-speed delivery, the IntraLase laser
delivers over a million tiny micron-sized
bubbles that gently separate the layers of
corneal tissue and creates a customized flap
of the desired thickness, size, orientation,
and location. This unprecedented level of
control makes LASIK safer and allows more
patients to qualify for LASIK. This level of
precision, control, and safety is simply
impossible to achieve with a hand-held
mechanical microkeratome that uses a
surgical blade to make the flap.
