IntraLase®

Predictably Better Vision. Uniquely Safe. Uniquely Precise.

The Two Steps of LASIK.
1. Create the corneal flap.
2. Reshape the cornea.

If you're looking for freedom from glasses and contact lenses, your timing couldn't be better. A breakthrough technology that has demonstrated a unique level of safety and precision is now available in Chicago at Advocate Illinois Masonic Vision Correction Center.

Traditionally, the first step of the LASIK procedure was performed with a hand-held mechanical device that uses an oscillating metal razor blade, called a microkeratome. While LASIK is a successful and relatively safe procedure, the majority of complications with LASIK arise from the use of microkeratomes.

Now, for the first time, doctors are using a blade-free approach to this important step. A new, computer-controlled procedure called IntraLase eliminates many of the possible complications occasionally seen with the microkeratome.
