I am having it done on Saturday, and be wondering if anyone could tell me their story. I would close to to hear about the prcedure from a personage other than a doctor or a surgen. Thanks!

Answers:    I haven't done it, but I do own some information for you, so you know what to expect :



IntraLASIK - how it works ?

STEP1: INTRALASIK uses the INTRALASE Femtosecond Laser to perform the FIRST step of FLAP CREATION.

Local anaesthetic drops are used to numb the eye - it is a PAIN FREE procedure. In directive to create an accurate ultra-thin flap the cornea needs to be slightly flattened. The eye is meekly held open and the one and only feeling patients report is this slight pressure which is from making the cornea flat. Unlike the microkeratome which uses a blade, the Intralase laser creates a flap by producing thousands of miniature bubbles within the cornea with micro-accuracy. These bubbles sign on together to separate a layer of the cornea which become the flap. If the surgeon is happy a second set of bubbles creates the side of the flap, departure a gap at the top for the hinge. In this mode a highly PRECISE ultra-thin covering or flap of the cornea is fashioned.


The surgeon has the aptitude to restart the process of flap creation if he is not satisfied avoiding any snag in delirium correction (as would happen near regular LASIK the bladed procedure using a microkeratome).


How Vision Correction Works ?

STEP2: The patient is moved to a SECOND laser - the Excimer (Bausch and Lomb Z100) .


Here the Intralase flap is lift and the treatment for the patient is applied. (A series of options are available using the Intralase laser: Standard IntraLASIK, Zyoptix Tissue Savings and Zyoptix Wavefront - the surgeon will inform you as to what is most suitable for you). The flap is next replaced and allowed to dry. The Intralasik procedure requires no stitches and the flap sticks by a variety of unprocessed forces. The patient consequently leaves the room and sits in a waiting nouns for about 20 mins, after which the mirage is checked and eye examined. A huge difference in illusion is immediate, though it continues to promote over the next three months.

What Will You Feel ?

The Intralasik procedure take about 6 minutes per eye. You will enjoy had a tablet to relax you and you will be amazed how at full tilt the time goes. As mentioned you might quality some pressure with the Intralase laser interface (suction device) and your figment of the imagination may go any dark or white. With the second portion of the treatment you will not consistency anything and will just hold to look at a flashing blurry red light. You can be comforted that the using the Intralase laser to create flap is much safer than a blade microkeratome.

After the Intralasik procedure (like the microkeratome procedure) your eyes may stream and you might have the sensation of soap within your eyes for about 3 hours. Typically patients merely want to go to sleep and once they get up up they are fine.
