We know the decision to have LASIK surgery is a big one, so we take great care to determine what’s best for you are our patient. That’s why we offer bladefree LASIK treatment using the revolutionary procedure known as IntraLase. IntraLase Technology, or IntraLASIK, is a completely bladeless approach to refractive surgery that has maximized consistency and accuracy while reducing the possibility of complications.

 

LASIK has always been essentially a two-step procedure.  The first step is the creation of a thin protective flap on the cornea, and the second is the actual correction of the patient’s vision, as a tiny laser beam gently reshapes the cornea. Until recently, the flap was created with a hand-held blade called a microkeratome, but with IntraLase technology, the flap is formed using pulses of laser light. The result is a safer, more accurate approach to the initial step in the laser vision correction process.

 

Immediately following the procedure, the protective flap is folded back into place, where it bonds with your eye without the need for stitches. Because IntraLASIK affords the surgeon greater precision and predictability in creating the flap than traditional LASIK, each flap is more specifically designed and therefore able to be more securely repositioned. The accuracy of this computer-controlled procedure significantly reduces the possibility of complications.

 

Not only has IntraLASIK made vision correction more exact and predictable, its unique level of precision also makes it more accommodating to patients who may not have been candidates for laser vision correction in the past. Through its increased accuracy and safety, IntraLASIK allows for correction even in cases of above-average pupil size, thinner corneas and more drastic corrections.

 

At Wright Vision Center, we are committed to using the latest technology to ensure that our patients achieve the best possible results. The IntraLase method has been used successfully on millions of eyes and we trust this advanced technology to deliver exceptional results. Our commitment is to provide you with the ultimate in comfort, safety, and outstanding vision. With that in mind, we are pleased to offer the unprecedented precision and consistency of IntraLASIK.

 

Because of the superior accuracy of the IntraLase laser, certain patients who were ineligible for LASIK, in the past, may now be able to have IntraLASIK. Ask your Doctor today if you are a candidate.
