NASA Approves IntraLase LASIK
NASA has approved IntraLase LASIK. While microkeratome LASIK has been around for more than a decade it wasn't until it advanced to become an ultra-precise, all-laser procedure that NASA approved it for use on astronauts. Similarly, only all-laser IntraLase LASIK is approved for US Naval Aviators (Top Gun pilots) and for US Air Force pilots. These visually demanding professions require the very best in LASIK surgery. Why would you have eye laser surgery with the older, less safe, less precise blade LASIK?

Biomechanical Advantages of IntraLase LASIK
Professor John Marshall has been one of the worlds leading researchers into corneal excimer laser surgery since his pioneering work in the late 1980s. Until recently, he has been opposed to LASIK on the grounds that there is too great a risk of destabilising the structural strength of the cornea and it resulting in the corneal go out of shape. We call this keratectasia and can cause severe loss of vision. More recently he has come out in favour of LASIK done with the IntraLase. In his opinion, IntraLase LASIK is much better biomechanically for the cornea with much less chance that keratectasia with result.
