The
surgery of Lasik is a advanced surgery of eye conceived to help of the
people to obtain a better vision. Although the reasoning of the surgery
is the same one for all the experts, the equipment used to carry out
the surgery can vary surgeons with the surgeons. Indeed, the
terminology used also differs from the doctors to the doctors. For some
Lasik surgeons a surgery is �all-laser� while for others they employed
a microkeratome, a surgical knife.
Last openings
At the
beginning, the system of IntraLase was created to increase the
reliability and the safety of the surgery of Lasik. This can be
explained by the fact why the system of IntraLase makes use of the
laser radiation to remove the thin aileron in the cornea of the eye
instead of the microkeratome. The microkeratome is right a knife which
is designed not to employ this state-of-the-art technology.
After
the displacement of the aileron, the energy of the laser of excim�re is
employed to reorganize the cornea. This process aims at establishing a
more pointed corner. After having supplemented the process, the aileron
is reconstituted and acts now as a normal �binding� during the curative
process.
Advantages of Intralase
Although problems during
the surgery of Lasik are not hardly announced, sometimes of the things
are completely badly matched particularly with the fluctuation of the
blade of the microkeratomes. Indeed the metal part of the blade can
cause the edges twisted on the aileron. This naturally can only lead to
the surfaces twisted on the cornea which leads alternatively to the
anomalies such as the astigmatism.
The same metal part of the
blade of the microkeratomes also responsible for malformation and the
unfinished ailerons leading to the twisted vision. This anomaly can be
easily is avoided by the system of IntraLase.
The system of
IntraLase builds ailerons with energy of the laser while presenting to
model proportioned several small spaces of covering. This model is
created under the cornea. The laser of the system of IntraLase can
function very at a frequency in the order of the hertz of
quadrillionth. With this it is now easier to locate fabric and reduced
him at the molecular level instead of employing heat or to seek
surrounding fabrics.
Another advantage of the system of
IntraLase is the possibility for people with the thin corneas to
undergo the surgery of Lasik. You point out that the thinness of the
cornea was a criterion for the surgery. Indeed one did not allow people
with a cornea of which the length is above them microns 5OO to undergo
the surgery. It was a limitation of the microkeratomes which can only
cut approximately 100 or 200 microns. An obvious disadvantage of this
is the rising considerable one of the cornea which was wasted. With the
system of IntraLase, it is now possible to cut out an aileron as
slightly as 100 microns without any useless loss and this is because of
the uniformity, the reliability and the safety of the system.
The
capacity to follow the shape of the cornea is another apparent
advantage of the system of IntraLase. Indeed this reduces creation of
the ailerons with more precise vertical edges instead of the thin and
sometimes incorrect edges created by the microkeratomes. These heavy
edges are less to tear separately. Those also reduce the possibility to
find cells to rise directly under the aileron and to raise it. This
phenomenon could have created a twisted surface of the cornea. With the
system of IntraLase, it is far from likely to find these exits. It is
also impossible to obtain an infection of eye because of sterility of
the system of IntraLase.
Possible complications of IntraLase
Like
each system, IntraLase is also with inclined complications even if it
were announced that these complications were apparent than those
related to the microkeratomes. Unfortunately, some surgeons noted that
the patients undergoing the surgery of Lasik with the system of
IntraLase can have another complication to be composed of a sensitivity
not very common to the light. Some reports/ratios even claim as this
anomaly was found in 1-20% patients of IntraLase and it was also noted
that only one surgeon found a case simple of 20%.
The good news
is that many experts also claimed that this anomaly is absolutely
temporal. It is him lasts only one number of hours runs. This anomaly
was treated by eye drops during two or three weeks.
The experts
employing the system of IntraLase claim that the side effects of the
system of IntraLase are temporal while the anomalies cause by the
microkeratomes are more serious and can last longer.
An overall picture of the cost of IntraLase
Since
the system of IntraLase is surer and more reliable than microkeratomes,
there are overheads in associated costs with the system of IntraLase.
According to a report/ratio, one it believes that the use of IntraLase
increases 300 dollars per eye. Patients are invited to choose between
IntraLase and microkeratomes. However, it is advisable to note that
some experts offer only IntraLase and automatically include the
overheads in the fees.
