Six different studies verify the improved safety of flap creation with the INTRALASE® FS laser when compared to traditional microkeratomes. Clinical studies validate the elimination of certain risks that may accompany laser vision correction using the traditional surgical blade. Specifically, fewer case interruptions, fewer complications and the ability to safely create thin flaps and preserve corneal tissue were all reported. These benefits combine to significantly improve the safety profile of the LASIK procedure.

1. Traditionally the first step of the LASIK procedure was performed with a hand held mechanical device. While the results using this method have been very good, a new computer controlled laser is now available that eliminates many of the possible complications that were occasionally seen with the mechanical device. This INTRALASE® FS laser enables us to provide remarkable predictability and precision. It is this precision that makes laser vision correction enriched with IntraLase one of the safest forms of surgical vision correction available today.
2. The advanced IntraLase technology has given many patients more confidence when considering laser vision correction. Our surgeons recommend the INTRALASE FS laser for all of our patients because it provides greater precision and may significantly reduce the possibility of risk.
3. IntraLase helps us minimize risk and optimize results, giving you better vision.
4. IntraLase technology takes a very good procedure to the next level, making it uniquely safe and predictably better for our patients.
5. Many IntraLase surgeons report that the need to do a touch-up procedure, commonly known as an “enhancement”, may be significantly reduced.
6. We have performed thousands of successful procedures at our center with the traditional LASIK approach, and we have thousands of patients who are enjoying 20/20 vision. Much of our success is due to the skill of our surgeon(s), and continual investment in advanced technology. That’s why the IntraLase technology was chosen for our center. We want to continually provide the highest level of patient care, and the laser’s incredible precision allows us to better control the quality of the entire procedure.
7. Until now, the technology to totally customize vision correction surgery for every individual need was simply not available. The most exciting part is that while offering the opportunity to obtain the best results, we are also offering unprecedented safety and precision.
