Advanced Laser Technology in D.C. Area Boosts Patient Confidence and Results in Having Vision Correction Surgery

Use of Femtosecond Laser Safe, Significantly Reduces the Risk of Complications for Patients of Liberty Laser Eye Center, Home of the Only IntraLASEŽ FS Laser in Greater D.C.

    (Vienna, VA.) -- Laser vision correction is now safer than ever, thanks to the new femtosecond laser Nancy A. Tanchel, M.D. is now using for her patients at Liberty Laser Eye Center in Tyson's Corner, VA.

    The IntraLASE FS Laser she uses instead of the traditional blade is an entirely new way to create the corneal flap, the first step in the LASIK vision correction procedure. Traditional LASIK surgery uses a cutting blade, inserted into a mechanical hand-held device called a microkeratome, which is a major source of complications related to LASIK.

    Instead of using a blade to create the corneal flap, Dr. Tanchel's skill and the precision of the new laser customizes the creation of the flap for each patient with micron level accuracy. The laser-created flap is more accurate and precise than previous methods and eliminates the risk of complications associated with the microkeratome in U.S. clinical experience.

"Patients trust us with their eyesight, and the femtosecond laser enhances our ability to provide the best vision correction experience for patients while eliminating their fears" notes Dr. Tanchel who has performed over 8,500 IntraLASIK, LASIK, and PRK procedures since 1997.

Fifty-seven IntraLASE FS lasers are being used by 80 eye surgeons in the U.S. and more than 60,000 surgeries using the laser have been performed in the United State to date.

Dr. Tanchel, whose patients come from Baltimore to Richmond to West Virginia, is the only surgeon in the greater D.C. area, and the first female surgeon employing the laser. She is among an elite group of key opinion leaders nationwide adopting IntraLASIK to ensure maximum precision and peace of mind for their patients.

"We're now able to create corneal flaps with computer-controlled accuracy." said Dr. Tanchel. "That means patients can feel more confident in choosing vision correction surgery with IntraLASIK." And more people are finding themselves to be good candidates for laser vision correction due to the precision of the laser" adds Dr. Tanchel. "In the past, patients with thin or irregular corneas and other problems were turned away as candidates for LASIK. That's
changed. The new laser allows us to make vision correction surgery available as a better option to more patients."
