Has anyone had any dealings with the new Lasik Introlase technology. A
friend and I are looking at it in Sydney, Australia. Web Site is:

The flap is more accurate, but it takes a few days longer for the vision to
recover. You shouldn't expect to see 20/20 the next day.

The intralase flap is also made in a way that makes it extremely
difficult to deal with in lifting it in the event that you have an
enhancement done.
Also.. doctors can make the intralase flap very thin. Quite often
they make the flap thinner than they should, and the flap
wrinkles...not good.
If you would like to know the reason that Dr. Gemoules is ignoring the
problems with intralase and essentially endorsing it's use.. here is
the reason. Optometrists are prohibited from using any blade of any
type. Therefore, they cannot perform LASIK with a microkeratome. In
some places, optometrists can perform LASIK with the Intralase system
though. That is because the intralase creates the flap without using
a blade.
In fact, the intralase system is heavily marketed to OD's. They are
encouraged to be trained on it so they can subvert the restriction of
not using a blade.
Isn't it just special that a doctor would recommend a procedure for
reasons such as that?
Incredible.
