ADVANTAGES OF THE INTRALASIK PROCEDURE

• The IntraLase FS eliminates all complications attributed to the mechanical keratome.
• The computer controlled accuracy of the IntraLase FS creates a precise cornea resection with a greater consistency of flap thickness. If you were not a candidate for traditional LASIK, you may still be a candidate for the IntraLASIK procedure.
• The IntraLASIK procedure places a minimal amount of pressure on the eye increasing patient comfort and safety.
• The long wavelength of the IntraLase FS laser creates precision flaps without heating or damaging surrounding tissue.
• The precision shape of the flap allows it to reseat with a tighter seal.

The VISX STAR S4 is an excimer laser by VISX,® a pioneer in the development of excimer laser systems. The STAR S4 laser requires a shorter procedure time and contains the ActiveTrak,™ a sophisticated eye tracking system that can capture all three dimensions of intra-operative eye movements without dilation of the pupils.
The main benefit of the VISX STAR S4 laser is that it produces the smoothest surface on the cornea after the procedure. This promotes faster healing which results in better vision. The STAR S4 laser is FDA approved to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
The 3D ActiveTrak® EyeTracker tracks the horizontal, vertical and up and down motion of the eye in real time. By verifying the correct position of your eye before every laser pulse, the laser can safely and precisely control the placement of each laser pulse.
