The term "IntraLASE" is now commonly heard in conjunction with LASIK eye surgery. As to its exact meaning, however, many consumers are uncertain. InterLASE is essentially laser technology that replaces a blade in the first part of the LASIK procedure. It brings increased accuracy and flexibility to the surgery, which can help with a variety of special cases. LASIK eye surgery consists of two essential steps; the first is cutting a small flap in the cornea, and the second is the resculpting of the corneal tissue. Until the invention of the InterLASE laser, a blade in the form of a microkeratome machine has been used to create the flap. While the blade method has been a successful method by scientific standards, the InterLASE laser allows for an even higher degree of success. Who Offers IntraLASE Eye Surgery?
Not every eye surgery center has the IntraLASE laser at its disposal. The technology is expensive, so oftentimes it's clear by the machine's absence that an eye surgery center is not in the primary business of LASIK. Conversely, not every eye surgery center that offers IntraLASE for LASIK has the surgeons with the depth of experience you need to get the benefits of IntraLASE. The Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley features highly experienced surgeons, including the Center's director, Dr. Gary Kawesch, who has performed more than 40,000 refractive surgeries. He and his team have not just the technology, but also the expertise to help you make the right decision for your vision.
