This new bladeless lasik laser technology replaces the hand-held microkeratome blade with the computerguided precision of a laser, virtually eliminating almost all the most severe, sight-threatening blade-related LASIK complications as a result. Patients have accepted the higher cost because they realize they are getting something special with all laser lasik as we call IntraLase.

The IntraLase flap creation process takes about 15 seconds. Patients have accepted the higher cost because they realize they are getting something special with all laser lasik as a safer and more precise lasik, as there are no manual steps involved, only precision LASIK laser. The IntraLase Femtosecond Laser Keratome, which received FDA approval in December 1999, is the first blade-free technology for creating the corneal flap. IntraLase is getting good marks both for

These remarkable results are the product of the optimized corneal surface prepared by the IntraLase FS laser in creating the corneal flap. When CustomLASIK is complete a flap created using the IntraLase Method is uniquely able to lock back into place and your eye then begins to heal within minutes. There are presently

At the Bergenfield facility the patient after undergoing a through eye examination and obtaining medical clearance can have the operation completed within a few hours going home the same day. For the majority of patients, both methods of flap creation can be considered comparable, and therefore surgeon and patient preference will be important factors in deciding the LASIK flap creation technique. The biggest knock against IntraLase is that it has an unacceptably high rate of late

A reported disadvantage to this new IntraLase laser technology is that surgical time is increased, leaving the stroma exposed several minutes longer, which has led to reported complaints of photophobia and eye irritation for up to two days after surgery. Your lasik eye surgeon will advise you if your medical situation

The biggest knock against IntraLase is that it has an unacceptably high rate of late occurring photophobia (abnormal sensitivity to light). At the Bergenfield facility the patient after undergoing a through eye examination and obtaining medical clearance can have the operation completed within a few hours going home the same day. In addition many practitioners say that they can achieve better vision with IntraLase about 94% of his patients are achieving 20/20 vision

Hundreds of thousands of procedures have been performed safely and effectively using the IntraLase Method The most advanced treatment there is. Some patients may prefer the concept of the newer bladeless LASIK or all-laser LASIK techniques whereas others may prefer the lower cost and longer track record of

IntraLase lasers are also used in surgical approaches to the treatment of diseased corneas. More than 1,200 surgeons worldwide have incorporated the blade-free IntraLase Method gives patients more confidence and less anxiety going in for CustomLASIK treatment, and excellent vision coming out. In a clinical survey of CustomLASIK patients who had their corneal fl aps created using a blade in one eye and the IntraLase Method in the other, the vision in the IntraLase-treated eye was

These include patients with particularly thin corneas or eyes prone to corneal abrasion, as well as selected patients who have undergone previous LASIK and in whom the flap must be recut rather than relifted in order to perform a retreatment. This new bladeless lasik laser technology replaces the hand-held

Dr Dellarusso bought or leased three femtosecond lasers for his offices in the New York City area and is at 4,000 IntraLASIK flaps and counting.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. Using an inside-out process the laser beam is precisely focused to a point within the cornea. Your lasik eye
