"all-laser LASIK"

Recently, some clinics introduced the terms Femtosecond LASIK and IntraLASIK to the UK. This again is basic LASIK eye surgery; however, instead of using the traditional microkeratome instrument to create the corneal flap, the surgeon uses a separate laser cut the corneal flap. Femtosecond manufacturers often claim that surgeons adopting this laser can reduce complications or achieve better outcomes. However, we have not found conclusive evidence that favours results achieved with the IntraLase® over the microkeratome.
