The IntraLase Method uses tiny, rapid pulses of laser light to create your corneal flap’instead of using a metal blade’during the first step of LASIK.

As the IntraLase laser moves back and forth across your eye, a uniform layer of bubbles forms just below the corneal surface.

Unlike other procedures, the IntraLase Method creates the corneal flap by applying tiny, rapid pulses of laser light”not a metal blade .

The IntraLase Method takes much longer to perform than a microkeratome procedure.

The IntraLase Method enables your doctor to tailor the flap according to the shape of your eye.

Unlike the IntraLase laser, the microkeratome can only make a single, one-dimensional cut across the cornea.

With the IntraLase Method, tiny pulses of laser light, a quadrillionth of a second each, pass harmlessly through the outer portion of your cornea and form a uniform layer of microscopic bubbles just beneath the surface of your eye.

You want to know for certain that you’re getting the safest, most trusted treatment available.

With the IntraLase Method, a blade never touches your eye.

IntraLase information from IntraLase.com What Is The IntraLase Method?

Pulsing at a speed of one-quadrillionth of a second, the ultra-fast IntraLase FS30 femtosecond laser uses an infrared beam of light to prepare the intracorneal bed and create the flap, using an “inside-out” process to complete the first step of LASIK.

“When we began using the IntraLase laser to make corneal flaps, more patients achieved vision better than 20/20, to 20/15 and even 20/10.

According to FDA clinical trials and The Intralase website, patients can actually acquire Better Vision.

Unlike mechanical instruments, IntraLase technology is uniquely able to program the dimensions of your flap based on what’s best for your eye.

With the IntraLase method, pulses of laser light create your corneal flap, which is then lifted so the next step of LASIK-the reshaping of your cornea-can be performed.

Blade-free IntraLASIK using the IntraLase Method offers incomparable safety and optimal precision with the only fully automated and laser-controlled laser vision correction procedure.

Then the IntraLase laser creates your flap from below the surface of the cornea-without ever cutting it.

The IntraLase Method is a 100% blade-free technique used to perform the critical first step in the LASIK procedure: creating the corneal flap.

The surgeon then gently pull back the cornea allowing for the intralase laser to perform the corrective portion of the surgery.

Because most LASIK complications are associated with using the microkeratome blade, IntraLase has been touted as a safer method.

IntraLase is a computer-controlled laser that delivers pulses of femtosecond laser light to the cornea at a specified depth and position.

With the IntraLase method, more patients achieve 20/20 vision than with a microkeratome.
