IntraLase is one of the most advanced laser eye surgery procedures in the market today, as a new state of the art laser treatment IntraLase cuts the LASIK corneal flap by using a femtosecond laser. Normal LASIK treatments use a mechanical instrument called a microkeratome which uses a blade to produce the LASIK flap.
This procedure produces a flap that is much more precise in depth, cleaner, more accurate and thinner which results in a range of benefits for the patient.
Although advancements are made in laser eye treatment every year the introduction of IntraLASIK bladeless LASIK is the biggest leap in technology since the introduction of standard LASIK in the UK in 1998. It is a bigger advancement than the introduction of wavefront guided technology.
