Laser vision correction has helped millions of people to get rid of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. When patients take the initiative to improve their vision quality, their quality of life has changed too. Due to new technologies, the quality of laser technology has radically changed as well.

Many people have heard about traditional Lasik eye surgery. It is a method of laser vision correction that takes only 3-5 minutes on each eye. It is a virtually painless procedure that provides fast results. The recovery period after the correction takes several hours to a few days. The very next day after the correction you will be able to return to your normal lifestyle. Usually during traditional Lasik surgery, a special metal blade called a microkeratome is used to make the incision on the cornea.

There are many concerns that patients have that are associated with laser vision correction. The fact that traditional lasik uses a metal blade during surgery may frighten some patients. But in reality, not even the majority of minor complications associated with laser surgery are linked to this part of the process.

Using a laser to form a very thin flap on the cornea of the eye allows avoiding a number of complications that may arise after having laser vision correction. Femtosecond laser technology is 100% safe and precise without using microsurgical instruments. Patients can finally let go of their fears of using a metal blade to make the incision.

Boothe Eye Care Center was one of the first centers that introduced the latest techniques of laser vision correction. IntraLasik eye correction surgery is created by a newly combined system of excimer lasers and Femtosecond lasers. This technique is an improvement in the methodology of laser eye surgery and opens a new era in laser vision correction.

The Femtosecond laser beam has a unique property that passes through the superficial layers of the cornea and is focused in its thickness at a given depth. The laser is able to create the corneal flap using information that Dr. Boothe collects from a patient’s thorough eye examination so the procedure is highly individualized. Dr. Boothe then folds the obtained flap to the side for the second phase of laser eye surgery, reshaping of the cornea by excimer laser.

The patients who were treated at Boothe Eye Care Center are convinced that IntraLasik surgery provides expected outcomes. The most of them received 20/20 or better vision. If you want more information about the safe methods of laser treatment you can call us at (214) 328 0444.
