The IntraLase method, also known as IntraLASIK, produces a better quality corneal flap than the microkeratome (hand held thin blade). IntraLase is the laser that creates your corneal flap in the first step of your LASIK procedure. The IntraLase method works by providing rapid pulses of laser light to create a flap in the cornea.
The advantages of having IntraLase create your flap include the assurance and comfort of receiving the latest technology. IntraLase has been performed successfully on thousands of eyes. Clinical studies show that patients who have IntraLase achieve 20/20 vision or better more often that those having the standard LASIK technique. At the Eye Institute, we use IntraLase as the standard of care for LASIK. We believe you deserve the best!
The Allegretto Wave Eye-Q is the latest and greatest technology available used in laser vision correction. The Allegretto Wave Eye-Q is the fastest laser available for LASIK/PRK in the United States. It utilizes a high speed tracking device that monitors even the fastest eye movements.
Compared to other lasers, the Allegretto Wave Eye-Q creates a more natural shape in the cornea and reduces irregularities of the eye. This means a better quality of vision.
The Eye Institute has the LADARWave® Aberrometer available, which provides the precision capture you need for truly customized vision correction. Without a precisely oriented and registered wavefront data, we cannot provide patients with the outcomes they desire.
The LADARWave® device gives you the ability to detect, measure, and display the optical imperfections of the individual eye. This capability permits surgeons to gain a better understanding of how to treat an individual patient’s unique visual needs.
LADARWave® has a wide dynamic range to ensure aberrations are captured, even on highly aberrated eyes. Other technologies for measuring optical properties of the eye — such as phoropters and topographers — are unable to capture data representing the complete optical system. Consequently they cannot provide the optical details needed for truly customized vision correction. Both lower- and higher order aberrations must be measured and treated to create a true customized correction.
Only the LADARWave® device offers an automatic adaptive fogging feature designed to ensure that the eye is relaxed during wavefront capture. This eliminates the effects of accommodation and helps ensure all wavefront measurements are accurate.
