Dr. Paul Cutarelli | All-Laser LASIK
What is “All-Laser LASIK” and how does it compare to traditional LASIK surgery?
Dr. Paul Cutarelli explains that the difference between traditional LASIK and “All-Laser LASIK” (also known as “Bladeless LASIK”) is the method by which the LASIK flap is created.
In “All-Laser LASIK”, a laser device called a laser keratome, is used to cut a corneal flap for LASIK surgery. This is a newer method to create a corneal flap than the traditional method of using a microkeratome, a mechanical device with a blade. Some of the factors that Dr. Paul Cutarelli considers when choosing a preferred method of flap creation during LASIK are as follows:
- Quality of vision
- Rate of complications
- Pain during and after surgery
- Precision of flap size and thickness
- Time to recovery of vision
- Expense
