THE INTRALASE iFS LASER REVOLUTIONIZES LASIK

There are two steps in the LASIK procedure. First, the surgeon creates a micro-thin LASIK flap, which is lifted to expose the inner cornea for step two, tissue ablation by an excimer laser. The intralase laser introduced the concept of blade-free LASIK in 2001, representing the first improvement to the procedure’s first step. The iFS Laser introduced in 2009 brings the latest of this technology.

With its excellent safety profile, patient comfort and improved outcomes. LASIK with the IntraLase Method is among the fastest-growing refractive surgical techniques in the country today. The nearly 1200 IntraLase iFS lasers in use worldwide have performed over three and a half million blade-free LASIK procedures. In the U.S. more than 60 percent of all LASIK procedures incorporate the advanced IntraLase Method.

 
THE NEXT GENERATION iFS LASER
 
TOTAL TIME:- LESS THEN 10 SECONDS
The ultra-fast laser uses an infrared light beam, generating up to 15,0000 pulses per second, to prepare an optimal corneal architecture below the flap.

Using an “inside-out” process, the IntraLase laser is precisely focused to a point within the cornea, where thousands of microscopic bubbles are formed to define the architecture of the intracorneal surface and the resulting flap.
The surgeon controls flap diameter, depth, hinge location and width, and side-cut architecture — factors that can be varied per patient. Bubbles are then stacked along the edge up to the corneal surface to complete step one.
The physician then exposes the prepared corneal bed for excimer laser treatment by lifting the flap. The LASIK procedure is complete when the flap is securely repositioned on its beveled edge.
 
 
LASIK WITH THE INTRALASE METHOD EMERGING AS THE GOLD STANDARD
For the majority of top U.S. ophthalmic surgeons and teaching institutions, the IntraLase iFS laser is the technology of choice. Many of tomorrow’s LASIK surgeons are training exclusively using the IntraLase Method, signifying the potential end of microkeratome use in the procedure. In addition to LASIK, the IntraLase iFS laser is the first femtosecond laser cleared for use in a variety of corneal incisions, including advanced corneal transplants.
 
THE BLADE: TECHNOLOGY FROM A BYGONE ERA?
 
microkeratomePrior to the IntraLase laser, LASIK’s first step was done manually with an oscillating razor blade, called a microkeratome. This device causes the majority of LASIK complications and can be unpredictable even in skilled hands.
