Dr. Herman Sloane is a pioneer of the IntraLase® FS laser technology, being the first ophthalmologist in the Chicago area to use the Intralase. Since July 2002, Dr. Sloane has used this safe and unique technology for all his LASIK and laser vision correction procedures at no additional cost to the patient. The results are predictably better vision.

The IntraLase® FS Laser brings a new level of safety and assurance to vision correction surgery by providing an all-laser, blade-free approach for optimal precision. Now, the accuracy of a computer-controlled laser may be used to create the corneal flap for LASIK, providing unprecedented control and the ability to customize the flap for each patient.

Traditionally, the creation of a corneal flap was performed with a mechanical, hand-held device (known as a microkeratome) which moved across the cornea to cut the flap.

With the Intralase method, the outer surface of the cornea suffers no trauma, and the procedure is completely painless. The Intralase laser, combined with the Allegretto Wave excimer laser provides the safest, most accurate vision correction available anywhere.
