Intralasik

What is intralasik?

In a regular lasik surgery the eye surgeon uses a tool called a microkeratome to create the cornea flap. Intralasik (intralase lasik) is the laser equivalence.Instead of using a microkeratome, an Intralase laser is used and this is good because:

• The laser reads the eye movements many hundred times per second and can compensate for the eye movements when creating the flap.
• Intralasik is more exact. It always creates a perfect flap. The flap gets the right shape and the right thickness which isn't always the case when using a microkerotome.
• The incision Intralasik creates is much thinner because its created by a laser instead of a knife and thus the healing period is shortened.
• The discomfort is reduced
• Intralasik eliminates the risk of complications because the human factor is removed.
• Your vision will most likely get better compared to if you would have regular lasik.

Intralasik can also be combined with wavefront lasik.

Who is it for?

If you want to eliminate the risks of having lasik then Intralase lasik is for you. Anyone who wants to get rid of their glasses or contact lenses and fulfill the requirements can have intralasik. (If Lasik is not possible then you can have Lasek surgery instead.)
