HOW DOES BLADELESS LASIK WORKS

HOW DOES BLADELESS LASIK WORKS

* In as little as 30 seconds, tiny pulses of laser light (a quadrillionth of a second each) form a layer of microscopic bubbles just beneath the surface of your eye that will create the corneal flap.
* The layer size and shape are determined by your doctor and are computer controlled providing maximum precision.
* Because it was created by a laser, this corneal flap is uniquely able to "lock" back in place after the procedure, allowing for rapid healing.

BENEFITS OF BLADELESS LASIK

* More than 1 Million: The number of worldwide blade-free, all laser LASIK procedures.
* Studies confirm the incidence of dry eye symptoms may be reduced.
* Results of studies done by IntraLase® show that those who were previously dismissed as non candidates due to thin corneas may benefit from Bladeless LASIK.
* Using a laser provides rapid visual recovery.
* Clinical studies show Bladeless LASIK using IntraLase® take more patients to 20/20 vision and beyond.
* Patients report better quality of vision overall, including the ability to see well in low light, at dusk, or at night.
* Patients (expressing a preference) who had their corneal flaps created using a blade on one eye and the Bladeless LASIK with IntraLase® on the other preferred the Bladeless LASIK 3-to-1.

* Doctors have traditionally used a microkeratome, a hand-held blade, to create the corneal flap needed to perform the LASIK laser vision correction treatment.
* With the development of the IntraLase® laser, the procedure is now 100% blade-free by using the precision of a laser for the entire process.
* Bladeless LASIK from TLC uses the most advanced technology for LASIK eye surgery and the IntraLase® laser.
* Bladeless LASIK technology gives your doctor the highest degree of surgical control for more effective procedures.
* TLC's 100% all laser LASIK eye correction allows doctors the to customize each procedure with the precision of a laser.
* And because of this recent Bladeless LASIK technology even more people, including those with thin corneas, may now be candidates for Bladeless LASIK eye surgery.
* All parts of the procedure are customized
o Custom diagnosis before the procedure.
o Custom flap created with Bladeless LASIK.
o Custom treatment to complete the procedure.
