Bladeless LASIK Technology With the IntraLase Laser

IntraLase, also known as "bladeless LASIK" and "All laser LASIK", is another advancement in technology for laser vision correction today.

Traditional LASIK uses a microkeratome, a hand-held blade, which the surgeon uses to make a corneal flap prior to applying the laser to correct your vision.  IntraLase does away with the blade and uses a laser beam to create the corneal flap, which is more precise and offers better outcome opportunities.

Advantages of IntraLase

• You will heal faster and recover much sooner
• More patients have reported achieving 20/20 vision or better
• Fewer patients have reported deteriorated vision after surgery
• It's more accurate and safer because of the reliance on a laser rather than a blade
• The laser cut is more sterile, which is less prone to infection or inflammation
