2008 Marks Ten Years of Laser Vision Correction in America
The new Blade Free HD IntraLASIK is the most advanced method after ten years of laser vision correction.


/Vision-Eye Care News Articles/ - OCEANSIDE, CA, June 11, 2008 - When Laser Surgery was introduced ten years ago, it revolutionized eyesight correction. The Procedure was first introduced to correct only nearsightedness. LASIK, the preferred acronym, is now used to correct many vision problems including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatisms. Every year more than four million people are choosing to have their corneas reshaped and their vision restored to 20/20 or better. The word, Lasik, now encompasses a variety of laser correction procedures. Surgeons think the new Blade Free HD IntraLASIK system reduces complications, is easier to use, and is more precise than any other laser system. This "custom" Lasik surgery uses a computer to diagnose and customize correction of the eye. The IntraLase FS creates a flap with uniform thickness and design every single time. This reduces potential blade-related complications and lowers risk of infection, allowing a wider range of candidates to qualify for the surgery. Having thinner corneas or a higher degree of prescription error is no longer a concern.

Everybody has unique optics of the eye and no two eyes are the same. Surgeons can now measure that optics in a very detailed way and then use the laser to reshape the cornea for that particular optical fingerprint. With the Blade Free HD IntraLASIK, the computer figures out exactly how surgeons need to reshape the cornea to remove optical imperfections and correct vision. Surgeons used to rely on a patients prescription to decide on how to reshape the eye. Since prescriptions are based on a patient's assessment of their own vision as they read an eye chart, this assessment was very subjective. With custom Lasik, decisions are more scientific, because a computer measures how light is reflected in the eye. This translates into better nighttime vision, fewer halos, less glare from lights, and better quality.

Blade Free HD IntraLASIK is one of the safest, most precise methods used in laser vision correction today. This all-laser approach reduces complications, enhances safety and improves accuracy at every step, offering patients greater potential to achieve excellent results with 20/20 vision or better. Technological advances in vision correction can eliminate your need for glasses and contacts, giving you a new "outlook" on life!
