Why Intralase is better for flap creation....ask the lasik experts in smithtown New York in long island

At North Shore Eye Care in smithtown new york in long island, our three board certified lasik surgeons, Dr. Jeffrey Martin, Dr. Larry Zweibel and Dr. John Mauro perform only the best in laser vision correction.  In lasik, a thin flap is made in the superficial layers of the front window of the eye called the cornea.  This flap is lifted and then our long island patients get custom laser vision correction under the flap.  With customvue,  a wavescan gets a customized map of each patient's visual system.  This information is transferred to the Visx Star laser and the ablation laser eye surgery is ready.  As the patient looks at a blinking light, the laser eye surgery correction is performed with automatic centering, automatic tracking and iris registration.  Iris registration is the ability of the laser to recognize iris landmarks in each patient and line the laser vision correction perfectly with each patient's visual system.

Blade free Intralasik improved the outcome to lasik in so many ways.  Most of the complications in lasik were due to the blade microkeratome.  You could have problems such as free flaps, irregular flaps, metal fatigue, bad blades, and other problems.  The quality of the flap was inferior as well.  With intralase, the flaps are one consistent thickness and all of the problems of moving metal parts are eliminated.  With laser, precision is much improved and this part of the lasik procedure is no longer a problem.
