Welcome to All Laser Lasik Florida Dr. Mark Sibley of Florida Eye Center NOW OFFERS WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED LASIK TECHNOLOGY – BLADE-FREE INTRALASE METHOD – TO Tampa Bay AREA RESIDENTS
Ultra-Precise Vision Correction Procedure Delivers Exceptional Safety, Visual Results and Fast Recovery The world’s most advanced LASIK vision correction technology – the 100 percent blade-free IntraLase Method™ – is now available to Tampa Bay area residents looking to trade their sight-diminishing myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) or astigmatism (oval corneal curvature) for 20/20 or better vision without metal-blade surgery. Dr. Mark Sibley at Florida Eye Center joins other leading ophthalmic surgeons across the country in offering this advanced technology, which enhances safety the LASIK procedure and takes more of the millions of Americans who suffer from these eye conditions to 20/20 and beyond. “This new technology represents an emerging standard of care in LASIK worldwide, and patients now have the choice of blade-free LASIK with the advanced IntraLase Method over traditional LASIK with the microkeratome blade,” said Dr. Mark Sibley. “Given the safety profile of the laser over the blade, Tampa Bay residents have more reason than ever to see if LASIK vision correction is right for them.”
How LASIK With the IntraLase Method Works Available commercially in the U.S. since 2001, the IntraLase FS™ (femtosecond) Laser is used in the important first step of the LASIK procedure, the creation of a corneal flap. The second step involves reshaping the cornea using an excimer laser. Historically, the first step of LASIK was performed using a microkeratome, a hand-held device with an oscillating razor blade. While LASIK has proven to be a successful and relatively safe procedure, most complications and patient concerns have been associated with use of the microkeratome. The IntraLase Method eliminates the microkeratome and its blade. With IntraLase, the surgeon precisely controls the first step of LASIK using a computer-controlled laser that delivers rapid pulses of light, a quadrillionth of a second each, to a pre-programmed depth and position within the cornea. Each pulse forms a microscopic bubble. As the IntraLase laser moves back and forth across the eye, the bubbles are connected to form a corneal flap. Just prior to vision correction, the doctor gently lifts the flap to reveal a smooth corneal bed, optimized for reshaping. Physician-programmed laser specifications include flap diameter, depth, hinge location and width, and side-cut architecture – factors that are tailored to meet the individual patient’s needs. The IntraLase laser also creates a distinctive beveled-edge flap that allows for precise repositioning, alignment and seating of the corneal flap after LASIK is completed.
The IntraLase Method takes about 20 seconds per eye, with the entire LASIK procedure often completed in both eyes in approximately 30 minutes. Patients see better immediately with recovery typically lasting a few hours, followed by a few days of mild eye irritation. “Given the many benefits of the IntraLase Method, I’m sure that people who have delayed getting LASIK surgery will want to take advantage of this advanced technology – now available right here in our area,” said Dr. Mark Sibley.
