The IntraLase® FS laser is a highly precise tool aiding in corneal flap creation, the first step in laser vision correction surgery. During the procedure, the IntraLase® laser fires 15,000 pulses per second into the cornea, where the flap can be created at a depth and diameter determined by the surgeon as appropriate for each individual patient. In addition to benefiting from this pinpoint (2-3 micron) accuracy, patients who undergo surgery conducted with the IntraLase® laser are less likely to need an enhancement (follow-up) procedure than with other technologies.

Facts about the IntraLase® method.

• More patients get to 20/20 vision and beyond with the IntraLase® Method.¹
• IntraLase improves precision, and visual results of LASIK, whether you choose to have a standard or custom procedure.2
• Leading doctors and teaching hospitals from around the world believe in IntraLase and use the IntraLase Method.
• Approximately 1,000,000 IntraLase procedures have been safely performed.
• IntraLase® is the most sophisticated and accurate technology for corneal flap creation available today and has given many patients greater confidence and assurance in choosing laser vision correction.
