Evidence from multiple peer-reviewed studies and over 1,000,000 clinical cases show that the IntraLase laser can create a safer flap than the mechanical microkeratome.

Although complications are rare, IntraLase significantly reduces the risk of sight-threatening complications reported with the microkeratome (blade) and has given many patients more confidence in choosing laser vision correction.

Here are some questions to ask your doctor when considering LASIK:

	Have there ever been any reported sight-threatening complications from microkeratomes?
	What types of complications can occur with a microkeratome?
	What are the possible outcomes of a microkeratome complication?
	Can the microkeratome interfere with my visual results?
	Will the procedure have to be aborted if a complication occurs? And how long will I have to wait before the procedure is re-attempted?
