Bladeless LASIK

Custom Intralase and LASIK at TLC!LASIK surgery may be elective, but good vision is not. We understand how valuable your sight is to you, and we keep our sights set on providing safe and advanced technologies for our patients. That is why Bladeless LASIK using the IntraLase® laser is a technology chosen for our Centers.

 

Bladeless LASIK- What is it?

In the LASIK and Custom LASIK laser vision correction procedures, a flap of corneal tissue must be created and then folded back. The cornea is the transparent dome-like structure that covers the iris and pupil of your eye. By creating a flap in the cornea, the LASIK surgeon is able to perform the laser vision correction treatment on the inner layer of the cornea and allows for a rapid visual recovery.
 
With Bladeless LASIK, the LASIK surgeon uses a laser to create the corneal flap. This technology enables the LASIK surgeon the ability to customize the corneal flap for every individual LASIK patient. In recent studies done by IntraLase, this technology may now make it possible to treat those who were previously dismissed as non candidates due to thin corneas.
 
 

Bladeless LASIK- The Procedure

Our TLC LASIK surgeons can now offer customization for you in all parts of the LASIK procedure: custom diagnosis (before the procedure), custom flap (Bladeless LASIK), and custom treatment (to complete the procedure).
 

Bladeless LASIK- Confidence in your Decision

As with all technologies that TLC Laser Eye Centers uses, it is recommended that you consult your local TLC Laser Eye Centers® location for guidance. A FREE Bladeless LASIK consultation will determine what is the best treatment for you.
