LASIK INTRALASE

LASIK is a surgical process that decreases the dependency of glasses or contact lenses and it become more popular among the people. LASIK actually stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and reshapes the cornea permanently which is the outmost part of the eye. Earlier a surgical blade called a microkeratome was used to cut the flap in the cornea but now with advanced technology blade-free LASIK surgery has become popular.

Earlier LASIK surgery for vision correction as an option of surgery was not popular. To perform lasik, it involves a small mechanical blade called microkeratome which is used to create a flap on the cornea and then excimer laser is used to reshape the tissue below so that the cornea can focus light directly on the retina. Due advanced technology, there are many surgical option to correct vision problem.

IntraLase Method of Vision Correction method is very much like by the people and eye care professionals. It is also known as ‘All laser LASIK’ because IntraLase laser is used by eye care professional instead of microkeratome to create the corneal flap. Access to this tissue is created by making a surface flap and folding it back.

The first of any LASIK process is to create corneal flap. To correct vision, work of corneal tissue that is beneath the surface of the cornea is very important. Creation of the flap is key to the success of your surgery. The flap should have the exact correct thickness and in the exact right place. The flap is folded back into its position and acts as a bandage of the surgical area after the surgery. There is less possibility of complication during LASIK. Instaed of the microkeratome the use of IntraLase Laser reduces the chance of any complications.

There are many advantages of IntraLase Laser surgery such as:

While microkeratome moves back it creates a roughened surface but IntraLase creates a very smooth surface for the laser to work
You can get the desired LASIK result because blade-free approach allows for more precise customizing of the corneal flap.
For those who have thin corneas the IntraLase laser is more precise than the microkeratome.

IntraLasik allows more people to achieve 20/20 vision.
With IntraLase Laser there is less problem seeing in dim lighting situation.
The IntraLase Laser surgery is very safe and effective. The data shows that there are more than 600,000 patients who have made use of this technology. The process is not painful and their results are very good.
