Intralase Bladeless LASIK

You may be amazed to learn that it takes less than 20 seconds to create a corneal flap using the IntraLase® Method. In fact, the entire LASIK process typically takes well under 10 minutes.

The IntraLase Method eliminates the use of a handheld steel blade to cut a corneal flap for the LASIK procedure. Instead, the IntraLase Method uses laser light in quick, small pulses to precisely, uniformly, and safely create the corneal flap. Patients usually enjoy excellent vision within the first 24 hours, with improvement for weeks thereafter.

How IntraLase Improves Laser Eye Surgery

IntraLase is the most progressive method of creating the flap that LASIK requires, and also one of the safest and most successful. A femtosecond (quadrillionth of a second) laser is used to create pulses that make the flap. Dr. Kelly and Dr. Brissette utilize this advanced laser technology to precisely control the depth and shape of the flap, placing microscopic bubbles within the cornea to prepare it for re-shaping.

Once the flap has been created, it can be easily folded back to allow our surgeons to perform the rest of the LASIK procedure. Using a second laser, they reshape the inner layer of the cornea to correct:

Nearsightedness
Farsightedness
Astigmatism

“I feel liberated! I 100% recommend Kelly Vision to anyone looking to get laser eye surgery. I have been wearing corrective lenses for almost 30 of the 33 years I’ve been alive. Now I wake up seeing everything around me in perfect clarity, and I never have to poke my eyeball with contacts again! My vision was corrected to 20/15 within days of the surgery. The team there makes you feel like one of the family, they genuinely cared about my wellbeing. I felt safe before, during, and after the procedure. The offices and operating spaces are spotlessly clean. The packages they have for surgery and very affordable. This couldn’t have been a better experience.”
