IntraLase-initiated LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) uses the IntraLase FS laser to complete the first step of the LASIK procedure. It is the first advancement to make LASIK an all-laser procedure. Noted for improving the safety and predictability of LASIK by replacing the hand-held oscillating microkeratome blade historically used in the first step, the IntraLase laser has also been proven to provide for better than 20/20 visual outcomes, even among Custom/Wavefront patients. Today, the IntraLase laser is the technology of choice among the nation’s leading LASIK surgeons and at Brumm Eye & LaserVision.
