What is IntraLasik
Deze comfortabele ooglasermethode wordt erg vaak toegepast. Deze behandeling wordt ook wel de ‘flapmethode’ genoemd. Dit komt doordat het hoornvlies tijdens de behandeling opzij wordt ‘geflapt’. Dit zorgt voor een snel herstel waarbij je ook geen pijn ervaart.
IntraLasik: de flapmethode
De IntraLasik ooglaserbehandeling wordt door 2 verschillende lasers uitgevoerd. Door ultrasnelle lichtpulsen af te geven in het hoornvlies, ontstaan er kleine luchtbellen. Door deze luchtdruk raakt het hoornvlieslaagje aan 1 zijde los. Vervolgens kan de oogarts dit flapje omslaan, zodat de volgende laser het zicht kan corrigeren.
Hoe lang het precies duurt hangt af van je sterkte-afwijking. Hoe hoger je sterkte, hoe meer tijd de laser nodig heeft. Als laatste stap slaat de oogarts het hoornvliesflapje weer om op de juiste plaats. Hierdoor is je oog weer meteen afgedekt en ervaar je weinig tot geen last tijdens het herstel.

Frequently asked questions about IntraLasik
Why am I not eligible for laser eye surgery if I have a higher prescription? arrow_downward
It is possible that you expected in advance to be eligible for laser eye surgery with your prescription. Perhaps you have even had a preliminary examination at another eye clinic which showed this. However, it may be that the advice after a preliminary examination at FYEO is to opt for an ExtraLens treatment.
We always want the best result for you. Not only now, but also for the future. With laser eye surgery, we change the shape of the cornea. When a higher strength laser is required, the shape of the cornea is also adjusted more. For now, this might be safe and responsible, but if the cornea needs to be adjusted significantly, it could be that you are not or less suitable for another treatment in the future, such as a lens replacement.
With an ExtraLens treatment we do not change anything in your cornea, so this is still possible.
What if I rub my eyes after laser eye surgery? arrow_downward
You may not rub your eyes for two weeks after laser eye surgery. For hygiene, healing, wrinkling and the bandage lens.
Lasek & TransPRK
With the Lasek and TransPRK treatment you get a bandage lens in your eyes. By accidentally rubbing your eyes you could move it. This lens is removed after 5 days.
IntraLasik Femtosecond & ReLEx SMILE
With the IntraLasik Femtosecond and ReLEx SMILE treatment, there is a small chance of wrinkling when you rub your eyes, especially in the first few days. If this unexpectedly happens to you, you can recognize it by burning, red eyes and blurred vision. Fortunately, it can be fixed.
What is customised? arrow_downward
In order to achieve optimal vision quality, we need to take into account the specific shape of your cornea. That is why we advise our eye laser treatments Lasek, TransPRK and IntraLasik to always have them customised (also known as wavefront).
If we were not to do this, it would be at the expense of your vision quality. You will notice this, for example, in (more) trouble with halos, color shifting, glare and starbursting. We want to prevent this of course and we always strive for the best quality for your eyes.

What are the disadvantages of IntraLasik? arrow_downward
- The flap always remains a weak spot
- Not possible with dry eyes
Can the flap flip over after IntraLasik treatment? arrow_downward
After the treatment it is important to observe all the prescribed rules of life. Rules of life prevent complications and promote your recovery. These rules are described in detail in the treatment brochure that you receive before the treatment.
If you play contact sports or have a physical job or hobbies, it is important to know that the IntraLasik-Femtosecond eye laser treatment is not recommended. Precisely to prevent complications such as the flap turning over.
