IFS™150 IntraLase
IntraLase can be part of the LASIK eye surgery procedure and is an alternative method of creating the protective flap at the beginning of LASIK treatment. IntraLase creates the flap using a precision laser instead of a mechanical method.

The IntraLase procedure

1. Focus
The IntraLase laser is precisely focused to a point within the cornea, where thousands of microscopic bubbles are formed.

2. Flap Creation
IntraLase enables the Surgeon to precisely design and control many aspects of the flap such as thickness, its circumference, and the angle of its edges, effectively tailoring the protective flap to the eye.

3. Flap Lift
The surgeon gently lifts the flap to allow for the excimer laser treatment. The IntraLase procedure is complete when the protective flap is securely repositioned on its bevelled edge.
The benefits of IntraLase surgery
IntraLase surgery offers a range of benefits, including:
-
Faster healing and recovery rates than standard methods of creating the protective flap.
-
Improved precision and visual results of your LASIK surgery, whether you choose a standard or Advanced CustomVue procedure.
-
IntraLase allows surgeons to tailor the corneal flap for each individual patient, and each individual eye.
-
Patients with steep, flat or thin corneas - some of whom are not eligible for LASIK/LASEK surgery performed with a standard microkeratome - may benefit from IntraLase.
-
Laser eye surgery has a complication rate of less than 1%. However, the complication risk is even lower when you opt for the IntraLase precision laser procedure.
