INTRALASE

Discover the advanced precision of INTRALASE, also known as bladeless LASIK, at Revivacare, ensuring safer and more precise vision correction procedures for our patients.

Overview

INTRALASE is an advanced form of LASIK surgery which is also known as bladeless LASIK. As both methods are safe and widely performed, INTRALASE reduces the possibility of any complications during and after the surgery.

INTRALASE

Bladeless LASIK

Procedure: Unlike traditional LASIK where a mechanical microkeratome blade is used to create the corneal flap, INTRALASE uses a femtosecond laser to create a precise, customized flap in the cornea.

Technology: The femtosecond laser emits rapid pulses of light that create tiny bubbles at a specific depth within the cornea. These bubbles form a precise plane for flap creation, ensuring uniform thickness and a smoother edge compared to traditional methods.

Candidates: INTRALASE is suitable for a wide range of patients who are eligible for LASIK surgery, including those with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, depending on individual eye health and corneal thickness.

Recovery: Post-operative recovery with INTRALASE is similar to traditional LASIK, with most patients experiencing improved vision within a day or two after surgery, and full stabilization of vision typically occurring within a few weeks.

Advantages

  • Precision: INTRALASE allows for a highly precise flap creation process, customized to the individual’s eye anatomy, which can potentially improve visual outcomes.
  • Safety: By eliminating the use of a mechanical blade, INTRALASE reduces the risk of flap complications such as irregular flaps or buttonholes, which can occur with traditional LASIK.
  • Customization: The depth, diameter, and shape of the corneal flap can be customized based on the patient’s specific needs, potentially leading to better post-operative visual acuity.

FAQ

What is INTRALASE (Bladeless LASIK)?

INTRALASE, also known as bladeless LASIK, is an advanced form of LASIK surgery that uses a femtosecond laser instead of a mechanical microkeratome blade to create a precise corneal flap.

Unlike traditional LASIK, which uses a mechanical blade, INTRALASE utilizes a femtosecond laser to create a more precise and customized corneal flap, enhancing safety and potentially improving visual outcomes.

INTRALASE offers advantages such as increased precision in flap creation, enhanced safety by reducing the risk of flap complications, and the ability to customize the flap based on individual eye anatomy.

INTRALASE is suitable for patients with myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism who are eligible for LASIK surgery, depending on their overall eye health and corneal thickness.

After INTRALASE surgery, most patients experience improved vision within a day or two, with full stabilization typically occurring over a few weeks. The procedure generally results in less discomfort and faster recovery compared to traditional LASIK.
