PREDICTABLY BETTER VISION

Four different studies have evaluated the ability of the INTRALASE FS laser to offer better visual outcomes than those achievable with mechanical microkeratomes. The two retrospective studies (Sloane, Stonecipher) found better astigmatic neutrality (ie, less induction of cylinder from creation and replacement of the flap) with the IntraLase laser. Prospective, randomized evaluations of wavefront aberrations (Tran) determined that the IntraLase laser creates fewer higher and lower order aberrations. In another prospective, randomized study (Durrie), patients had one eye treated with the IntraLase laser and the fellow eye with a mechanical microkeratome. Of the patients who had a preference, they subjectively preferred the vision with the IntraLase-treated eye, and uncorrected visual acuity was statistically better in all IntraLase treated eyes at 1 week and 1 month.

  1. IntraLase is rapidly becoming known as the key ingredient to optimizing visual results in laser vision correction surgery. Comparative clinical studies confirm that patients see better following laser vision correction with IntraLase than with previous methods.
  2. Clinical studies show that more patients achieve 20/20 vision or better with the IntraLase laser than with the use of the microkeratome.
  3. This is better technology; a computer-controlled laser increases safety and precision and contributes significantly to better outcomes.
  4. This technology makes every laser vision correction procedure more predictable.
  5. Our doctors are recommending the IntraLase laser for all of our patients. They feel this technology significantly improves the predictability of the entire procedure, and the remarkable precision makes any laser vision correction procedure enriched with IntraLase one of the safest forms of surgical vision correction available today.
  6. This technology allows you to choose and actually enjoy laser vision correction with confidence.
  7. Our doctors can offer a new level of predictability for you in all parts of the procedure: custom diagnosis (before the procedure), custom flap (to start the procedure), and custom treatment (to complete the procedure).
  8. According to our doctors, IntraLase is the “Essential Component of Better Vision”, making every procedure better and more predictable.
  9. Our surgeons believe that IntraLase is the essential ingredient in obtaining your best vision while using the safest method possible.
  10. Laser vision correction using IntraLase technology is more expensive than the traditional mechanical technology. However; because of predictably better visual outcomes, our doctors are recommending this totally customized procedure for all of our patients.
