In order for light to focus more clearly on the retina, the outer window of the eye and the cornea must be of the proper curvature.

After your eye has been numbed with "eye drop" anesthesia, the Intralase®-FS Laser is used to create a protective flap that is folded back.

Cool rays of light from the Excimer Laser then reshape the inner tissue of the cornea with up to .25 microns of accuracy. Often, only 50 microns of tissue (about the thickness of a human hair) are removed to achieve the proper amount of correction.

The corneal flap is then folded back into place and the eye is allowed to heal naturally without the need for stitches.

Most patients enjoy dramatically improved vision within hours of their procedure. If you are tired of depending on glasses or contacts, call us today at 416-960-2020 to set up a free consultation.
