What are the pros and cons of blade vs blade-free lasik?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ComputerLaser combo: of the Intralase offers ↑ed flexibility, precision of control, lower complications & faster healing rates compared with use of a mechanical microkeratome blade (previously commonly used) to create the corneal flap. Study the manufacturer's website: http://abbottmedicaloptics.com/products/refractive/ilasik/intralase-fs-laser for better understanding of some of the differences.
