What are the advantages of the iLASIK procedure (Blade-free procedure) over conventional LASIK (with blade)?

Since the Femtosecond laser is a high precision laser device, your corneal flaps can be made as accurately as your doctor desires. This means that if your doctor needs to make a thinner flap in case you have a higher spectacle power or a thin cornea, the IntraLaseTM method ensures that this is achieved.

Since the flaps made by the IntraLaseTM method, are of uniform thickness throughout, they can be precisely repositioned, and aligned after LASIK is completed. Hence, flap slippage and wrinkles extremely rare

In the IntraLaseTM method the surface of the flap and the underlying corneal bed surface are extremely smooth. This improves the accuracy of the LASIK procedure giving a better visual outcome. With the IntraLaseTM method it is possible to make flaps in flat or steep corneas, without complications of free cap or buttonholing.

Combining the IntraLaseTM method for flap creation with Advanced CustomVue excimer laser vision treatment results in precise, safe and effective vision correction. This combination of technologies has been used for military pilots and astronauts, who demand the clearest, most precise vision possible.
