 Our goal is to offer the very best technologyand clinical expertise toachieve the best results possible. A significant technological advance in laser vision correction involves use of the
Intralase. For patients undergoing LASIK, there are two ways to create the corneal flap during the procedure, “Traditional LASIK” and “Intralase LASIK”. Traditional LASIK involves the use of a blade to create the flap, and then a laser is used under the flap to reshape the eye and correct vision. Dr. Dell has performed several thousand such procedures with excellent results. Intralase LASIK actually uses a laser to create the flap, with no blade required. Intralase LASIK is sometimes referred to as All-Laser
LASIK, blade-free LASIK or Intralasik.
In certain patients, the Intralase may provide an even more precise result with better vision and an increased margin of safety. Dry eye symptoms after surgery may be less significant with the Intralase as well. Intralase combined with Custom Wavefront LASIK has produced some of the best results ever achieved with laser vision correction. Not all patients are candidates for this technology. In a research study of patients treated with one eye using Traditional LASIK, and the other eye using Intralase LASIK, patients stating a preference preferred the vision in their Intralase eye 3 to 1 over the Traditional LASIK eye. Which is best for you? Dr. Dell will provide a recommendation based upon the individual characteristics of your
case.
