There is also no consensus amongst LASIK experts as to the superiority of one technique over the other. In a clinical survey of CustomLASIK patients who had their corneal fl aps created using a blade in one eye and the IntraLase Method is uniquely able to lock back into place and your eye then begins to heal within minutes. IntraLase is getting good marks both for the flaps it creates in difficult eyes and the marketing advantage it gives practitioners who were quick to adopt it. With the IntraLase Method, tiny pulses of laser light, a quadrillionth of a second each, pass harmlessly and painlessly through the outer portion of your cornea and form a uniform layer of microscopic bubbles just beneath the surface of the cornea using an inside-out process. IntraLase FS laser uses an infrared light beam, generating 60,000 pulses per second, to prepare the intracorneal bed and create the corneal flap in the cornea.More astronaut candidates with vision problems will now qualify. Dr Joseph Delarusso said that NASA has now approved of IntraLase lasik as the only acceptable lasik surgery form for their austronauts.
