Laser Eye Surgery Treatments
INTRACOR
Taking only 20 seconds to perform, the INTRACOR procedure is a gentle, safe, effective* and fast laser treatment. The treatment not only treats your near vision, but also maintains good vision at all other distances, intermediate and distance vision.
The INTRACOR procedure uses a high-tech laser system called the TECHNOLAS Femtosecond Workstation which is made by a German company called Technolas Perfect Vision GmbH.
The entire procedure is performed without making a single surgical incision through the surfaces of the cornea as the laser is targeted to only work within the cornea, in an area called the stroma.
Presbyopia is corrected by a very gentle all-laser process which accurately adjusts the central shape of the cornea, the front of the eye, to bring near objects into focus.
The INTRACOR procedure uses the laser to make a series of precise, microscopic concentric ring patterns in the stroma which result in a minor alteration to the corneal curvature to compensate for the presbyopia.
Unlike conventional laser corrections, the INTRACOR procedure maintains the natural shape of the eye during the procedure to provide a more personalised and accurate treatment.
The whole procedure is over in just 20 seconds.
