Technology – IntraLase™ FS Laser System

There’s Only One IntraLase™ FS Laser System

Increasingly, successful LASIK procedures have one thing in common — they use AMO’s IntraLase™ FS Laser System. IntraLase™ FS Technology clearly delivers clinical advantages to enhance your practice.

LASIK eye surgery made safer than ever before by replacing the blade commonly used for corneal flap creation with a femtosecond* laser. The IntraLase™ FS Laser System delivers micron-level accuracy 100% greater1,2 than a microkeratome for more accurate and consistent flap thickness — which is critical for a successful LASIK outcome.

• Our 4th-generation laser is designed as a primary laser for LASIK procedures and advanced corneal surgery procedures
• 60 kHz performance delivers microkeratome speed and laser precision
• Better biomechanical stability vs. a microkeratome
• Lower induced high-order aberrations vs. a microkeratome
• Better refractive outcomes vs. a microkeratome
• Over a million procedures done

A femtosecond is 1/8 th of the time for light to travel the breadth of a human hair

By replacing the blade commonly used for corneal flap creation with a femtosecond laser, AMO® has made LASIK eye surgery safer than ever before. The IntraLase™ FS Laser System delivers micron-level accuracy 100% greater than a microkeratome for more accurate and consistent flap thickness — which is critical for a successful LASIK outcome.

Retrospective analysis comparing LASIK results with IntraLase™ FS Technology versus the two leading microkeratomes demonstrated that IntraLase™ FS Laser System performed better in three areas important to LASIK results and safety: flap thickness, induced astigmatism, and cell injury. There are fewer flap-related complications with the IntraLase Method:

• Minimal risk of sight-threatening events
• No risk of corneal abrasion
• Reduced risk of dry eye

*Only the IntraLase™ FS Laser System can be used to perform the IntraLase Method.

Advantages:

1. Controlled Flap Structure

• Precisely centered, accurately sized flaps; programmable hinge placement
• Flap dimensions designed based on patient factors, such as corneal thickness, steepness, diameter and pupil position
• Precise control of flap dimensions helps avoid the peripheral lamellar structure, vital to the biomechanical stability of the cornea

2. Uniform Flap Thickness

• Uniformly thin, planar flaps3
• Smooth, evenly hydrated, tissue
• Reproducible flap thicknesses significantly superior to those achieved by mechanical means
• Maximized residual tissue

3. Superior Visual Outcomes

• Rapid visual recovery
  -Day 1: 20/16 or better in 70% of patients

  -Month 1: Increased contrast sensitivity

• Better quality of vision
  -Eyes treated with the IntraLase FS Laser System had fewer visual disturbances (haze, glare, sensitivity), less pain, and less dryness than a microkeratome
