As LASIK surgery becomes more and more popular in California and beyond, improvements are made to the technology and equipment used. Advanced technology should always be used by only those with extensive expertise in the field of refractive surgery. IntraLASIK is one term that many have heard used, but whose definition may be unclear. The LASIK procedure has traditionally consisted of two overall steps. First is the cutting of a small flap in the cornea using a microkeratome, which is an advanced machine with an extremely precise blade. Second, the surgeon uses an excimer laser to reshape the material that makes up the cornea. IntraLASIK is a laser that takes the place of the microkeratome blade, in effect, making the entire LASIK procedure possible using lasers only. The Center for California IntraLASIK
The results achieved with IntraLASIK at one of the premier refractive surgery facilities in California, the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley, have been exemplary. Patients tend to prefer the concept of a laser versus a blade and the Center's surgeons are pleased with the ease of use and the results. To learn more about the IntraLASIK laser used at the two Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley locations in California, download the literature pack PDF file here on the site. Though using the IntraLASIK for LASIK procedures is not imperative as the microkeratome still works well, the presence of this machine can indicate the dedication a vision center has to LASIK surgery. After all, you wouldn't want to trust your eyesight to a facility that does not specialize in refractive surgery. Contact the Laser Eye Center today to learn more about this exciting technology.
