IntraLase FAQ

Why does LASIK require two steps?
When laser vision correction was performed without the corneal flap, as in PRK (photorefractive keratotomy), patients experienced considerable discomfort and a delay in visual acuity. So in LASIK, the surgeon first creates a micro-thin flap of corneal tissue and folds it back to prepare the eye for the second step, where an excimer laser is used on the inner cornea to correct vision. This two-step process allows for rapid visual recovery with little or no patient discomfort, and is credited with the popularity and growth of the procedure worldwide.
What is IntraLase®-initiated LASIK?
IntraLase-initiated LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) uses the IntraLase FS laser to complete the first step of the LASIK procedure. It is the first advancement to make LASIK an all-laser procedure.
Noted for improving the safety and predictability of LASIK by replacing the hand-held oscillating microkeratome blade historically used in the first step, the IntraLase laser has also been proven to provide for better than 20/20 visual outcomes, even among Custom/Wavefront patients. Today, the IntraLase laser is the technology of choice among the nation’s leading LASIK surgeons and at Brumm Eye & LaserVision.
How does the corneal flap affect visual outcomes?
A:New science reveals that the corneal flap has been widely underestimated for its affect on the visual outcome of LASIK. If the corneal surface is left with microscopic high and low spots, the precision of the excimer tissue ablation (step two) can be compromised. Eliminating even minute inaccuracies on the corneal surface improves the visual outcome of the procedure.
Surgeons have found statistically and clinically significant differences in the vision patients achieve when the IntraLase laser is used for corneal flap creation. The IntraLase FS laser goes beyond simply creating a safer, planar flap to preparing an optimal corneal architecture below the flap, providing for superior visual outcomes, even among Custom/Wavefront patients. The end result: fewer complications and better vision.
Is this the same as the Customized procedure I have heard so much about?
No. Custom LASIK generally refers to individualized visual diagnosis with technology called “wavefront,” which allows for customized, personalized treatment with the excimer laser. However, Dr. Brumm prefers to combine Custom treatments and IntraLase.
In fact, new data reveals that the IntraLase laser helps Custom LASIK deliver on its promise of better visual outcomes beyond 20/20 to 20/15 and 20/12.5.
Is traditional LASIK unsafe?
No. While traditional LASIK is a successful and relatively safe procedure, the IntraLase laser makes it safer by virtually eliminating the rare, severe, sight-threatening complications of the microkeratome. IntraLase-initiated LASIK is not only 100 times more accurate, but it also provides patients with superior visual outcomes. These facts are giving thousands of patients each month the confidence to proceed with laser vision correction.
How do the visual outcomes of IntraLase-initiated LASIK compare to traditional blade-initiated LASIK?
Clinical studies confirm that patients achieve better vision with IntraLase-initiated LASIK. Data shows:
- More patients achieve 20/20 or better vision with IntraLase-initiated LASIK.
- Patients stating a preference preferred the post-operative vision of their IntraLase-treated eye 3-to-1 over their blade-treated eye.
- IntraLase creates fewer high- and low-order aberrations, associated with night glare and halos.
- IntraLase patients have a reduced incidence of post-operative dry eye symptoms.
- IntraLase patients required fewer enhancement procedures following LASIK.
- The precision of the IntraLase flap significantly reduces the incidence of post-operative induced astigmatism as compared to a microkeratome-created flap.
