HOW DO THE VISUAL OUTCOMES USING INTRALASE COMPARE WITH THOSE OF TRADITIONAL LASIK WITH A MICROKERATOME?
Clinical studies confirm that patients see better following IntraLase-initiated LASIK than with the hand-held microkeratome blade. • More patients achieve 20/20 or better vision with IntraLase-initiated LASIK • Patients stating a preference preferred the post-operative vision of their IntraLase-treated eye 3-to-1 over their blade-treated eye • IntraLase creates fewer high- and low-order aberrations, thought to be associated with glare and halos at night • IntraLase patients have a reduced incidence of post-operative dry eye symptoms • IntraLase patients required fewer enhancement procedures following LASIK • The precision of the IntraLase flap significantly reduces the incidence of post-operative induced astigmatism as compared with a microkeratome-created flap.
