PATIENT PREFERENCE

A prospective, randomized study was conducted in which patients had one eye treated with the IntraLase laser and the fellow eye with a traditional mechanical microkeratome. The procedure was completed with a customized laser vision correction treatment in both eyes. At 1-month post-op visits, the majority of patients reported that their vision in the IntraLase-treated eye was preferred to that in their microkeratome-treated eye.

1. In a recently conducted study, most patients preferred the visual outcome in their eye treated with the IntraLase laser when compared to their other eye, which was treated with the traditional mechanical device.
2. Many patients treated with the INTRALASE® FS laser tell us that when they understood that no blade would be involved in their surgery it gave them the confidence to go forward with laser vision correction.
