Is traditional LASIK unsafe?
No. While traditional LASIK is a successful and relatively safe procedure, the IntraLase laser makes it safer by virtually eliminating the rare, severe, sight-threatening complications of the microkeratome. IntraLase-initiated LASIK is not only 100 times more accurate, but it also provides patients with superior visual outcomes. These facts are giving thousands of patients each month the confidence to proceed with laser vision correction.
No, but IntraLase reduces the risk of complications reported with traditional LASIK, and we feel that it is very important for all patients. The advanced IntraLase technology has given many patients more confidence when considering laser vision correction. Surgeons are recommending the IntraLase laser for their patients because it provides greater precision and significantly reduces risk.
