IntraLASIK Eye Surgery
Introduction to Blade Free IntraLASIK
Through the use of the ultra-fast and precise Intralase Femtosecond Laser, the IntraLASIK procedure does away with the traditional handheld microkeratome blade, significantly improving the safety of the procedure. With the traditional method, flaps created by the use of a blade can be irregular, and might have tattered edges or even a buttonhole in the center, which occurs when the blade becomes loose during the cutting process. With Blade Free IntraLASIK, there is no risk of irregular flaps as the laser can be readjusted at any time during the process to ensure an absolutely error-free outcome every time. In IntraLASIK, the patient’s eye measurements are taken, and these measurements are used to guide the computer-driven laser, which creates a customized corneal flap of absolute uniform thickness and design. During this process, an optimal corneal surface below the flap is also created, resulting in better visual outcomes. The process is entirely controlled by a computer and is the first such procedure to incorporate two lasers to customize each session according to the individual eye requirements. IntraLASIK is one of the safest, most precise methods used in laser vision correction today, and is especially recommended for patients with a high prescription and high astigmatism.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered Clearly and Simply
How long does a qualification examination take?
Our complete examination take around two hours. It is a series of specialized tests by which we determine your prescription, the thickness of the cornea, etc. Based on this examination your doctor will suggest the best method of correction. Since the examination may involve the application of pupil-dilating eye drops, you are advised not to drive a vehicle and have someone accompany you to drive you home.
Can I drive after the procedure?
You want to refrain from driving until your doctor tells you your vision is stable and it is safe to do so.
Why should I stop using lenses before my eye exam?
If you are wearing lenses, the measurements can be misleading. Contact lenses can alter the condition and shape of your cornea. It is advisable to stop using lenses at least 2 weeks before your exam.
What is the maximum age limit for laser vision correction procedures?
There is no such limit. It is agreed that a patient should be in generally good health (e.g. no diabetes, allergies, etc.) After your consultation, your doctor will advise you on possible treatments based on your situation.
