Amo, Intralase 2 FS60 IEK
AMERICA North (USA-Canada-Mexico)
The IntraLase FS laser differs from other blade-based technologies in
many essential ways. By replacing the blade commonly used for
corneal flap creation with a femtosecond laser,
AMO® has made LASIK eye surgery safer than ever before.
The IntraLase FS laser is the first blade-less and most precise modality for
corneal flap creation available today. It delivers micron-level accuracy
100 percent greater than a microkeratome for a more accurate and
consistent flap thickness. This is critical for a successful LASIK outcome.
When used during LASIK, the IntraLase FS laser replaces the
handheld microkeratome blade traditionally used during surgery.
Retrospective analysis comparing LASIK results with
IntraLase™ FS Technology versus the two leading microkeratomes
demonstrated that, IntraLase™ FS Laser System performed better in
three areas important to LASIK results and safety:
Flap thickness,
Induced astigmatism, and
Cell injury.
This method is so highly sought after that it used for military pilots and
astronauts, who are in need of the clearest, most accurate vision possible.
There are fewer flap-related complications with the IntraLase Method:*
Low risk of sight-threatening events (free caps, globe penetration,
buttonhole flaps, decentered flaps, and/or incomplete cuts)
No risk of corneal abrasion
Lowered risk of dry eye
*Only the IntraLase™ FS Laser System can be used to
perform the IntraLase Method.
