IntraLASIK HD, also known as Custom LASIK, utilizes advanced wavefront technology to correct both lower and higher-order aberrations:
- Lower-order aberrations include common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
- Higher-order aberrations refer to more complex optical imperfections that can affect night vision, causing glare, halos, and shadows.
Using a computerized wavefront measuring system, IntraLASIK HD creates a highly detailed map of visual distortions. This map guides the laser to reshape the cornea with exceptional precision, tailoring the procedure to the unique characteristics of each eye. This makes IntraLASIK HD an excellent option for patients with mild to moderately high visual defects, including astigmatism, myopia, and hyperopia.
FAQs
How does IntraLASIK differ from traditional LASIK?
IntraLASIK replaces the microkeratome blade with a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap, enhancing precision and safety while reducing the risk of flap irregularities.
What is the recovery time for IntraLASIK?
Most patients experience noticeable vision improvement within 24 hours, with full stabilization typically occurring within a few weeks.
Who is an ideal candidate for IntraLASIK?
IntraLASIK is ideal for adults with stable vision prescriptions and healthy corneas. It is also a viable option for those with thinner corneas who may not qualify for traditional LASIK, thanks to the precision of the femtosecond laser.
