 The
Montreal Eye Clinic now offers its patients the IntraLase Method™!
A bladeless and safer technology for creating the corneal flap,
which is an essential step in the LASIK laser vision correction
procedure. Eliminating the risk of complications associated
with using the microkeratome blade, IntraLase allows for fast
healing.
Since the advent of laser surgery, The Montreal Eye
Clinic has always recommended that its patients undergo refractive
surgery that uses leading-edge techniques. In this same vein,
internationally renowned ophthalmologist Dr. Sam Fanous, who
heads the clinic, has once again chosen to innovate by making
IntraLase available to patients who want bladeless, all-laser
surgery.
 Dr. Fanous predicts that 80% of the LASIK procedures he will
perform over the next six months will incorporate the IntraLase
technology. Although this technique has only recently been
introduced to the Québec market, many large Canadian
and US clinics are already using IntraLase.
The technique reduces
the risk of complications by providing greater precision during
the first step of LASIK surgery, and makes it possible to treat patients
who were not candidates for conventional LASIK procedure because
of a thin cornea or severe myopia.
Proven results
Worldwide, over 1 million operations have been performed since 2001 using this
technology, which is already in its fourth generation. This technique eliminates
fears associated with the use of a microkeratome blade to create the corneal
flap, which is an essential step in any LASIK surgery. |
