In traditional LASIK, the surgeon uses a hand-held mechanical device called a microkeratome, which uses a metal blade to create the flap. With bladeless LASIK (IntraLASIK®), the surgeon uses the precision of a laser to create the flap. While the risk of complications in Dr. Oster’s hands is very minimal, with the advanced technology of IntraLase®, these risks are further reduced. |
