Back Home >> Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK Blade-Free HD IntraLASIKBlade-Free HD IntraLASIKSM is the most advanced method of laser vision correction available today. This sophisticated new technology reduces complications and improves accuracy to help you achieve the best results possible. More AccurateAll LASIK procedures, including Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK, involve a two-step process. In the first step, a small flap is created in the outer covering of the cornea. Once complete, Dr. Kleiman or Dr. Evangelista will then use an excimer laser to reshape the cornea and correct vision inaccuracies. Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK improves the accuracy of the surgery by minimizing the margin of error. In the past, doctors were required to manually cut the flap in the cornea by using a handheld instrument known as a microkeratome. This worked well, but increased the potential for inaccuracy due to human error. Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK is completely computer-controlled. This ensures that the cornea will be cut with uniform thickness and design every time, increasing the potential for 20/20 vision or better. The Safest OptionWith no blades to complicate your procedure, there is less of a risk for infection or other blade-related side effects. Instead, Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK makes use of the IntraLase femtosecond (FS) laser to create the flap in your cornea. The precise and accurate process allows a laser light to pass through the surface of the eye, causing a layer of tiny bubbles to delicately separate the corneal tissue. Once the cornea has been reshaped, Dr. Kleiman or Dr. Evangelista will allow the flap to fall back into place, where it will heal on its own with no need for stitches. What’s this mean for you? Thanks to the superior safety, you’ll see faster recovery time and improved results. Minimize the risk and maximize your vision with the help of Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK. How Effective is Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK?The overall goal of LASIK is to reshape the cornea of the eye so that the focal point focuses directly on the retina. In most cases, this dramatically improves the vision of the patient. Almost all individuals will achieve results that allow them to legally drive without glasses or contacts,* and many will benefit from 20/20 vision or better. Most patients that have the procedure are able to go about their daily lives without the assistance of glasses or contacts. If you are over the age of 40, however, you may find the need for glasses when you read. This is due to a natural condition known as presbyopia that occurs as people age. For this special circumstance, Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center also offers the latest in Multifocal IOLs to correct “over 40 vision.” How Fast will You See Results?Most LASIK patients recover within a day or two after the procedure. While the full effects of the surgery could take up to three months to occur, you should be able to go about daily life within a day or so after surgery. It should also be noted that activities such as contact sports and swimming should be avoided for the first several weeks. If you have questions or concerns about how the procedure will affect your hobbies or interests, please don’t hesitate to ask Dr. Kleiman or Dr. Evengelista. This improved healing time is achieved because Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK surgery is more precise and less invasive. It also delivers improved long-term results due to reduced corneal scarring. Currently, Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK is the most advanced and effective type of procedure. *In clinical studies for FDA approval, more than 92% of participants could pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses one year after treatment. |
