IntraLase bladefree lasik surgery

Bubble-Powered For A Blade-Free LASIK Experience, that is what The IntraLase Lasik Surgery method is all about. The IntraLase laser is a 100% blade-free approach to corneal flap creation which makes the critical first step in the LASIK procedure safer than ever before.

The creation of the flap prepares the eye for the second step of the LASIK procedure, when the excimer laser is used on the inner cornea to correct vision.

The IntraLase laser surgery method creates the corneal flap by applying very small and very fast laser light pulses. This is a much safer way to create the flap than the traditional metal blade (microkeratome). It is safer because it is computer driven. No shaky surgery hands to make mistakes.

Each pulse of the laser passes through the top layers of your cornea and forms a microscopic bubble at a depth and position within your eye, controlled by a computer that has been programmed by the lasik surgeon after a thorough investigation of your eye sigth. This is custom lasik of the future.

As the IntraLase laser moves over your eye, a uniform layer of bubbles forms just below the corneal surface. Your lasik eye surgeon creates your corneal flap by carefully separating the tissue where the laser created those bubbles. The corneal flap is then folded back so the doctor can perform the second step of your LASIK treatment with the eximer laser.

Using the latest IntraLase laser technology, your corneal flap can be made very fast and very safely, ito only takes about 15 seconds per eye. This is so fast that there are no needs for drops to prevent dry eyes which is very common in normal lasik surgery when usin a microkeratome to create the corneal flap.

With IntraLase laser the entire LASIK procedure takes about 10 minutes. Once the entire procedure is completed, the corneal flap created with the IntraLase Method locks back into position like hand in glove which leads to a shorter time to normal vision after the laser surgery.

Since the introduction of IntraLase lasik surgery in 2006 more than one million surgeries have been performed safely and effectively using the IntraLase Method.

Advantages of the Bladeless lasik surgery method

Better vision. More patients achieves vision that is 20/20 or better when IntraLase laser is used for the LASIK eye surgery procedure.

Better night vision. Many IntraLase all laser lasik patients report better quality of vision in terms of their ability to see well in low light such as at dusk or at night

Custom Lasik. The IntraLase all-laser lasik surgery enables your eye surgeon to custom make the flap according to the shape of your eye. Everything can be precisely determined. This is important because everyone’s eyes are different.

Only a certified lasik eye surgeon can determine if LASIK and the IntraLase Method is right for you so you should ask your doctor for a complete advice of risks and complications associated with LASIK and the IntraLase Method before you decide if this is for you.

Dr. Joseph Delarusso said that NASA has approved, for the first time ever, the laser eye surgery technique Dr. Delarusso invented and calls all-laser Lasik, to improve the vision of its astronaut candidates. This is a great relief for many people who have previously failed the vision tests.

Dr. Delarusso started the all-laser Lasik surgery in his New York City office back in 2002. Dr. Dellarusso marketed the all laser lasik as a safer and more precise lasik, as there are no manual steps involved, only precision LASIK laser. This kind of laser used is often know as IntraLase Lasik, after the first laser invented for the purpose of cutting the flap in the cornea.

NASA will now accept candidates that previously failed the vision requirement if they undergone a Lasik procedure, or more presicley, the bladeless all laser lasik performed by Delarusso in New York and New Jersey. The procedure must be performed without the use of a blade, which is known as Intralase Lasik or all-laser Lasik. Traditional LASIK surgery using non laser cutting of the cornea is not approved.

NASA is following the lead by other branches of the US military which after an extensive study determined that all-laser lasik, or bladeless lasik, or Intralase Lasik, is safe for the military, especially for soldiers in combat.

The extreme conditions of NASA pilots, mission specialists make even simple contact lenses intolerable. More astronaut candidates with vision problems will now qualify.

The decision by the military and NASA reflect how safe this type of lasik is now considered.

Doctor Joseph Delarusso said and continued;

Lasik surpasses in safety even the wearing of contact lenses.

Lasik is the most popular self-improvement surgery in the US with over 11 million lasik eye surgery procedures performed since 1996. Until introduced by Dr. Delarusso in 2002, the lasik procedure was performed with the use of a blade, which was unfortunately associated with some complications.

The intralase all-laser lasik is now the standard form of lasik surgery, says Dr. Delarusso. Dr. Delarusso’s offices has been proud in being the first in recognizing the safety and precision of all laser lasik and has been the intralase lasik pioneer over the past five and a half years.
