California Lasik Eye Surgery : Why So Many People Is Turning To IntraLase LASIK?




Lasik Eye Surgery has been around for nearly 10 years. Due to advances in LASIK technology, more and more people are benefiting from it. John Mumblo has been wearing glasses since kindergarten. Contact lens were not an option for him as they are always falling down.

He wanted to get rid of glasses and finally decide to undergo IntraLase Lasik Surgery, one of the newer advances in LASIK technology.

With IntraLase Method, which uses a bladeless instrument to create the flap, the benefits are many. The biggest benefit of all is that the outer layer of the cornea is never touched. Laser beams pulsates on the exact area and creates a flap. The corneal flap is then lifted. Lights are then dimmed and the patient is moved to another laser which corrects his or her vision.

For the first day, the patient is advised to wear dark glasses and sight begins to restore almost immediately. Full vision will be obtained in about 2 weeks.

Nevertheless, IntraLase method is not for everyone. People with abnormalities or a thinning of the cornea cannot have the procedure.
