Bladeless lasik - custom lasik
Are looking for safer way to perfect vision? A 100% blade-free LASIK experience that virtually eliminates almost all the most severe, sight-threatening complications?
Then the answer is IntraLase custom made lasik surgery.
Leading doctors, including the famous New York and New Jersey eye surgeon Dr. Delaruso, believe that the IntraLase all-laser surgery procedure is the future of lasik. Finding an IntraLase trained and certified physician near where you live or work is not very hard anymore, as more and more vision centers and eye surgeons make the investment in the IntraLase laser.
So, how is the IntraLase laser different from the Epi-LASIK and photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK) procedures?
These older techniques of lasik surgery procedures differ from one another in the way they prepare the surface of the cornea for the second step of LASIK, that is the way the flap is created.
In Epi-LASIK the lasik surgeon uses an epikeratome, a blunt separator, to make a superficial flap.
In photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK) the flap creation is performed by scraping the surface layer of the cornea. Both the Epi-LASIK and PRK procedures can be painful and the time it takes for you eye to heal and your vision to be back to normal after the vision surgery is longer than with procedures performed with the IntraLase Method.
The hand held microkeratome is a steel blade that the eye surgeon uses to cut open your cornea. This is not very precise and it can sometimes be hard for the lasik eye surgeon to make a precise cut and the way the microkeratome works makes the flap edges rough and might lead to a long healing time.
On the ohter hand, the IntraLase laser is computer driven and the eye surgeon can program it to cut the flap very exactly and customize it to your specific needs.
