The Intralase Method

The Intralase method is a 100 percent blade-free technique that is used in the first step of the LASIK procedure to create the corneal flap.  During the Intralase procedure, a laser creates tiny bubbles on the surface of the cornea, the bubbles are carefully separated to form a flap.  After the flap is created, the next step is to treat the cornea with the excimer laser to correct the patient’s vision.  When Intralase is used with CustomVue, the procedure is known as iLASIK, a tailored treatment for the unique characteristics of the patient’s eye.

For more information on the iLASIK procedure, contact the ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center team.
