IntraLase offers a safer, computer controlled alternative to microkeratome (metal blade) for creating the corneal flap. The laser creates the flap under very low vacuum, delivering the laser energy directly to the stromal layer of the cornea through a disposable glass lens. The outer surface of the cornea suffers no trauma, and the procedure is completely painless. In testing, greater flap stability as well as high degree of accuracy in both the depth and size of the resections has been demonstrated. Visit IntraLase for more information. |
