Carter Eye Lasik Vision Correction Blog

The all-new IntraLase technique brings so many opportunities and possibilities to the world of laser vision correction. People who do not qualify for traditional LASIK surgery, or have previously undergone corneal surgery but would like to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism should look into this new procedure.

How IntraLase Works

Sometimes referred to as "a bladeless procedure," "all laser," the IntraLase laser has the precision to create a corneal flap as thin as 100 microns. Other procedures create corneal flaps between 100 and 200 microns. This reshaping of the corneal flap is the key thing that helps correct your vision.

A significant reason some don't qualify for LASIK is that their lenses are too thin or not round enough. Thanks to infrared laser energy, IntraLase aims at the cornea and creates a flap through inserting the correct pattern of microscopic spaces in the lens itself. Ophthalmologists like Dr. Carter can target specific, minute areas of the lens without having the beam affect any other part of the eye.

In traditional LASIK, the surgeon creates this corneal flap with a blade called a microkeratome and uses an excimer laser to remove corneal tissue. IntraLase is bladeless and reduces chances at scarring.
