iFS® Advanced Femtosecond Laser Technology For LASIK Surgery

The iFS laser provides a highly sophisticated, computer-guided method to prepare the corneal tissue for personalized LASIK without a blade ever touching your eye. Through the advanced IntraLase method, your corneal flap is 100% laser-created. This gives Dr. Feldman full control over critical architectural parameters, including flap diameter, depth, hinge location, and side-cut angles, ensuring a highly individualized vision correction treatment.

The iFS (femtosecond) laser is the only FDA-cleared femtosecond laser proven with more than 10 years of clinical research improving both the safety and precision of LASIK. Nearly four million procedures have been performed with the IntraLase Method worldwide, accounting for more than 60 percent of all LASIK procedures in the U.S.*

High-Frequency Infrared Light Beam: Generates up to 60,000 pulses per second to prepare optimal corneal architecture below the flap.

Microscopic Sub-Flap Precision: Uses an "inside-out" process to create thousands of microscopic bubbles within the cornea, defining the intracorneal surface and flap architecture.

Clinical studies tracking visual acuity show outstanding patient outcomes when the blade-free iFS IntraLase method is integrated into a custom LASIK plan

1. Customized Treatment: Dr. Feldman can specify flap diameter, depth, hinge location, width, and side-cut architecture, allowing for a treatment plan tailored to each patient's eye.
2. Enhanced Safety and Precision: Clinical studies demonstrate that the iFS laser improves both the safety and precision of LASIK, leading to excellent visual outcomes and high patient satisfaction.
3. FDA-Cleared and Clinically Proven: The iFS laser is FDA-cleared and backed by over a decade of clinical research, with millions of successful procedures performed globally.
4. Accelerated Visual Recovery: Patients consistently report a faster return to crisp visual clarity.
5. Reduced Dry Eye Symptoms: Precise depth management preserves crucial corneal nerves, minimizing dry eye occurrences post-surgery.
6. Maximum Flap Stability: The iFS laser creates a distinctive, inverted beveled edge. When the flap is repositioned, it locks securely into place, providing up to three times the post-operative structural stability of a traditional blade-created flap.

1. Microscopic Bubbles: The laser creates microscopic bubbles within the cornea, defining the intracorneal surface and resulting flap architecture.
2. Surgeon Control: The surgeon controls all aspects of the flap creation, ensuring a personalized approach.
3. Flap Lifting: The prepared corneal bed is exposed for excimer laser treatment by lifting the flap.
4. Completion: The LASIK procedure is completed when the flap is securely repositioned on its beveled edge.

Clinical studies show excellent visual outcomes and high patient satisfaction when the blade - free iFS Intralase Method is used. Personalized LASIK using the iFS laser is proven to provide faster visual recovery, fewer dry eyes symptoms,and maximum flap stability. And the iFS laser is 2.5 times faster than previous generation femtosecond lasers , creating precise, predictable flaps in less than 10 seconds per eye.

In addition to customization of the flap, the iFS laser creates a distinctive beveled-edge that allows for precise repositioning, alignment and seating of the LASIK flap for maximum stability- three times that of a blade created flap.

The iFS IntraLase laser technology represents the pinnacle of modern LASIK procedures, offering unparalleled precision, safety, and customization. Dr. Sandy T. Feldman and her team at Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care, ensuring that each patient achieves the best possible visual outcomes.
