Doctor John Frangie IntraLase specialist in Western MA says yes, IntraLase is considered by many to provide a safer approach to vision correction surgery. This is a result of the superior precision of the computer controlled laser as compared to that of a hand-held mechanical device. The mechanical device houses a metal blade which cuts across the cornea to create the flap. IntraLase accomplishes the flap procedure with a laser instead of a blade, and does not travel across the cornea; these features reduce the risk of complications.
IntraLase provides a safer procedure because of its precision. This precision was documented in studies conducted for the FDA clearance of the laser, where accuracy of flap thickness was demonstrated at +/- 10 microns. Precise flap thickness is critical to a successful LASIK outcome and IntraLase created flaps feature a consistent thickness from edge to edge. Again, this degree of accuracy is unprecedented in flap creation technology to date.
