Eight different studies evaluated the precision of IntraLase technology in flap creation, comparing it to standards using the mechanical microkeratome. These studies unanimously determined that the laser-based approach generated significantly more predictable flap dimensions, most importantly flap thickness. This increased predictability in flap creation enriches the accuracy of the overall treatment as well as the ability to precisely create thin flaps and preserve corneal tissue.

1. The precision our surgeons have been able to consistently attain while performing the first step of the procedure with this laser directly affects the quality of the entire procedure.
2. Our surgeons believe this greater level of precision and accuracy provided by the IntraLase technology is important for all of our patients. It allows us to continually provide a higher level of care in our facility.
3. IntraLase technology gives you an important new reason to consider laser vision correction. By eliminating the microkeratome (or surgical blade), our doctors believe that laser vision correction is safer, better, and more precise.
4. Our doctors continually evaluate all advances in technology and have found that the computer-guided laser for creation of the first step of LASIK is the most sophisticated and accurate system available today. IntraLase technology provides greater precision, safety and predictability.
