For people who are a little reluctant to undergo the conventional LASIK eye surgery, which involves cutting a corneal flap with a microkeratome blade, now there is a reason to smile. The latest technology in laser corrective eye surgery, the blade free LASIK, has now made an entry. A New Concept The traditional laser eye surgery consisted of a man held surgical instrument known as a microkeratome or a blade to cut a corneal flap in the cornea in order for the "reshaping" of the cornea to be done. But now, with the blade free LASIK procedure or IntraLase, the whole phenomenon is carried out with the help of lasers and completely eradicated the use of blades. This blade less technology uses a computer controlled device for cutting a corneal flap which is a more safer and a better option as it reduces the chances of any mistake on the part of a surgical blade. Advantages of Blade Free The use of the standard blade for this surgical procedure could lead to a few complications. As the blade is "man held", mistakes would be minimal but cannot be ruled out while creating the corneal flap. An uneven cut on the cornea, light sensitivity or any other such problem just proves the unpredictability of the procedure. The following advantages prove the point further: The blade free procedure is safer than the traditional LASIK.
It is produces better results with impeccable precision.
It is free from flap related complications.
There are lesser cases of light sensitivity issues.
Better control over the creation of the size of the corneal flap. For Better Future Prospects Even though the blade free LASIK surgery is more costlier than the conventional LASIK surgery, it is much more safer, better in precision and free from any complication whatsoever. The eyes are the most delicate and sensitive part of the human body and when it comes to correcting eyesight and improving your vision, a compromise will definitely not do. For people who feel like experiencing the beauty of this world in a better way, spending more on a much safer procedure is surely worth the investment.
