IntraLase® is a new technology that performs the essential first step of the LASIK procedure with more precision and safety than ever before. This computer-controlled tiny beam of light creates the flap necessary to obtain access to the layer of the cornea needing to be treated by the excimer laser.

By lasering at a precise depth, tiny bubbles create a uniform plane. Finally the laser makes circular passes that outline the edge of the flap. The cornea is very stable at this point. Until the surgeon lifts the flap the cornea remains intact. These factors create less risk of flap complication and repeated uniformity in flap creation.

This technology allows you to choose and actually enjoy laser vision correction with confidence. Our doctors now offer a new level of predictability for you. More patients than ever before may be candidates for the procedure due to this previously unavailable level of precision, and the preservation of corneal tissue.

Our practice is devoted to providing the highest standard of patient care. We have invested in this technology to maintain that level of commitment to you! Clinical studies reveal that the computer-guided laser appears to be as much as 100 times more accurate than other options of flap creation. You can now have more confidence in your decision for laser vision correction.
