LASIK Surgery with the Advanced Precision of IntraLase |
We know the decision to have LASIK surgery is a big one, so we take great care to determine what’s best for you as our patient. That’s why we offer IntraLase as step one in your LASIK treatment.
With IntraLase, a beam of laser light is used to create your corneal flap, which is then lifted so the second step of LASIK—the reshaping of your cornea—can be performed. When your LASIK treatment is over, the flap is securely repositioned into place. This bladeless, computer-guided technology is 100 percent more accurate than most of the mechanical microkeratomes (hand-held device with a thin metal blade) that surgeons may also use to create a corneal flap.*
Because of the superior accuracy of IntraLase, certain patients who were ineligible for LASIK may now be able to have treatment. Ask your doctor today if you are a candidate.
How the IntraLase Method Works
Unlike mechanical instruments, IntraLase technology is uniquely
able to program the dimensions of your flap based on what’s best
for your eye. Then the IntraLase laser creates your flap from below
the surface of the cornea—without ever cutting it. How?
- Ultra–fast pulses of laser light position microscopic
bubbles at a precise depth determined by your doctor.
- The laser light passes harmlessly through your cornea.
Then the laser creates rows of these bubbles just beneath
your corneal surface as it moves back and forth across your
eye in a uniform plane.
- Next, the IntraLase laser stacks bubbles around your corneal
diameter to create the edges of your flap. These bubbles are
stacked at an angle that is determined by your doctor and is
individualized to the way your eye is shaped.
- The process takes only about 30 seconds from start to finish—
it’s quiet and it’s comfortable.
- Your doctor then gently lifts the flap to allow for the second step
of your LASIK treatment. When treatment is complete, the flap
easily “locks” back into position and rapidly begins to heal.

I
didn’t realize how much I was missing
until I got (Custom) LASIK done! I can finally
experience all of the little things everyone
takes for granted on a daily basis. I’m
recommending LASIK to everyone I know, and
I am thankful I decided to finally do it
and fortunate that I found Dr. Wilmarth
- it changed my life. Really.
