The IntraLase FS laser gives surgeons unparalleled control over flap diameter, depth, centration and ablation pattern for safer, precision-designed treatments with faster healing and better visual outcomes.

Thin, Uniform Flaps

The unique computer-controlled laser system enables surgeons to create thin, planar flaps with a uniform mean thickness of 112±5 μm and an average standard deviation of as little as 4 μm within each flap,⁵ maximizing residual bed and potentially producing a more stable post-LASIK cornea.

Faster Visual Recovery

• Through one week postop, eight times more IntraLase eyes achieved 20/20 or better uncorrected vision compared to PRK eyes⁶
• Superiority continued at one month, where nearly twice as many IntraLase eyes achieved 20/20 or better uncorrected vision compared to PRK eyes⁶

Better Wound Healing

• Produces stronger flap adhesion postoperatively⁷
• May make stronger flaps that are more resistant to trauma and reduce the incidence of certain complications⁷

Enhanced Safety

• The risk of infectious keratitis is significantly greater with PRK than it is with LASIK⁸
• The risk of ectasia is significantly decreasing with IntraLase SBK

Laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) can only be performed by a trained physician and is specified for reduction or elimination of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism as indicated within the product labeling. Laser refractive surgery is contraindicated for patients: a) with collagen vascular, autoimmune, or immunodeficiency diseases; b) who are pregnant or nursing women; c) with signs of keratoconus or abnormal corneal topography; d) who are taking one or both of the following medications: Isotretinoin (Accutane) and Amiodarone hydrochloride (Cordarone). Potential side effects to laser refractive surgery may include glare, dry eye, as well as other visual anomalies. LASIK requires the use of a microkeratome that cuts a flap on the surface of the cornea, potential side effects may include flap related complications. Consult with your eye care professional and Patient Information Booklet regarding the potential risks and benefits for laser refractive surgery, results may vary for each individual patient.
