Contact Tylock Eye Care & Laser Center near Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas to learn more about IntraLASIK laser vision correction.
The IntraLase® Femtosecond (FS) Laser is used to perform the first step of LASIK vision correction surgery at our Dallas, Texas area practice, the creation of the corneal flap. The FDA-approved IntraLase® FS Laser and IntraLASIK procedure allow Dr. Tylock to more precisely and safely create the corneal flap using a silent beam of light.

The cornea is a dome-like structure of transparent tissue that extends over the lens, pupil and iris. The cornea's curvature affects the way incoming light rays are bent so that they focus optimally onto the retina for maximum visual acuity.
IntraLASIK software directs the IntraLase® FS Laser to optically focus its beam into a tiny, 1 micron(.001mm) spot of energy that passes harmlessly through the outer layers of the cornea until reaching its exact depth within the stroma (central layer of the cornea).
In an "inside out" process, the laser beam creates a separation plane by forming an interconnecting series of bubbles made of carbon dioxide and water vapor.
The laser beam stacks a pattern of bubbles along the periphery of the treatment plane, leaving an unseparated section of tissue to act as a hinge. As with a traditional LASIK approach, the surgeon then folds the tissue back to expose the underlying corneal layer to prepare for the excimer laser treatment that will re-shape the cornea.

“I first began wearing glasses when I was a freshman in high school… I couldn’t see the overhead projector… and then I started having problems seeing when I was playing sports. I just wanted to see 20/20 again without any assistance of contacts or glasses and I was able to do that the first day after the surgery.”
- Andrea Gardner
“It was great from day one. The people, the service, the bedside manner so to speak, everything was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for better, right to my follow up visits it’s been just superb. Everybody is very concerned, very caring about it. They want to make sure that the job’s done right and that I’m happy, and that’s a big, big plus.”
