Instead of a mechanical microkeratome, a laser creates the flap during IntraLase ® FS or IntraLASIK, part of the process of laser eye treatment.
Just to make a bed of bubbles in the cornea that is placed in front of the eye, the computer fematosecond laser guide. The underlying layer stromal revealed by an eye peeled flap, a process created by the bubbles overlap.
Initial testing to establish the parameters used in the calibration of the laser fematosecond. The first process is to measure the refraction or prescription and show corneal thickness and topography. This process is similar to regular lasik, in which the flap is created. To protect the eyes, the flap healing is possible without the use of stitches.
Intralase LASIK Universal eye surgery requires post-processing similar. During the following weeks, lubricants and antibiotic eye drops is used to treat the eye, so you heal faster. Changes to eye is normal in the coming weeks to a month, although the vision from the day of surgery is better than preoperatively.
Complications after surgery are similar to LASIK surgery. For example, several said they had suffered from chronic dry eye, which requires daily, lubricants and gels overnight. However, this feeling has been reported to fall within six months of operation.
In the glare and halos afternoon also occur. Evening activities such as driving, in turn threatens the life because of this, and activities easier than watching sports live. In 2000, Intralase has been developed and used for the first time. Flap created specifically in terms of size, depth and shape of the control board was essential that this component is laser eye treatment, such as the creation of a component that was seen as the main concern with the visual result.
Despite this, studies show contradictory state of your use of the IntraLase ® FS laser techniques for adding visual acuity improved, regardless of the presentation of evidence, 10 use IntraLASIK has become a popular option when this is LASIK laser eye treatment. This is due to IntraLASIK greater precision in the creation of the flap allows for greater security in this part of the process.
Patient expectations also play an important role in the technical advantages of Intralase. The invention of using a laser instead of a microkeratome regularly scheduled eye surgery LASIK is considered an innovative engineering. A leaf, although very precise, a microkeratome is basically. Patients feel more confident and comfortable during the operation due to the laser IntraLASIK fermatosecond used.
