Thousands of people undergo Boothe LASIK surgery every year to eliminate their dependency
on glasses and contact
lenses. Eye surgeons routinely use lasers to correct
common vision disorders, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness,
and astigmatism.
Intra LASIK:" approved by the Federal Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 1999,
offers
a cutting-edge technology to improve safety, reduce the possible risk of
infection, and achieve more consistent, accurate
results during laser vision correction.
Dr. William A. Boothe was the first LASlK surgeon in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area
to
pioneer the use of Intra lASlK - the all-laser, blade-free approach to laser vision
correction. This new technology
represents the future For vision correction and has
changed the Face of LASIK laser vision correction forever. About Boothe Lasik
W l K is a two-step process. During the first step, a corneal resection, Dr. Boothe makes an incision in the cornea and creates a thin, hinged Flap, an entryway to the tissues inside.
The second step reshapes the cornea. In order to see clearly, the cornea must bend or refract light correctly on the retina. The retina then converts light to impulses sent to the brain, which recognizes these signals as images. If the cornea is irregularly shaped, it will not focus light on the retina correctly and the image will be blurry. the goal of glasses, contact lenses, and LASIK surgery is to reduce or eliminate vision problems by refocusing light correctly on the retina.

Prior
to Dr. Boothe's adopting Intra LASlK technology, during the First step of W l K
surgery, Dr. Boothe would have used a
microkeratome to cut the hinged flap. Then the used a laser system that delivered a quick burst of light to reshape the
cornea.
Even with an excellent surgeon, however, there is a possibility of infection because of the surgical cutting
tool. There is also the risk of inconsistency in the results achieved
from traditional BootheLASIK.
Intra LASIK
is the bladefree alternative. This Fast-pulsed laser creates a perfect corneal flap. The result is a precise, computer-guided
incision with a greater consistency of flap thickness and a reduced potential for complications. Recent clinical studies
suggest that Intra LASlK may be 100 times safer than traditional LASIK.
In step two of Intra LASIK, Dr. Boothe uses one
of seven FDA-approved scanning
excimer lasers to achieve the best vision correction possible. After Dr. Boothe reshapes
the cornea to the correct proportions, he places the flap back in position and it"reseats" without stitches
to create a tight seal to aid in healing.
