I have booked my eye surgery and cant wait, I have opted for the wavefront LASIK procedure without intralase. Anyone else not had intralse? what are the pros + cons and do I NEED to have intralase? its just that I had a budget and intralase adds £600 to that budget which I will struggle to afford.

Intralase is not any superior than microkeratome (Wavefront Lasik procedure). Both of this procedures can get the same result and It's just the way of creating a flap. Dr Yeoh Phee Liang Consultant Ophthalmologist advancevision.net.my

I had it done without, opinion varies on whether it makes any difference at all (mine for the record are fine!)

I just had PRK done yesterday (the laser surgery without the cut to the cornea) and I am pretty satisfied. My eyes burned like hell afterwards and still do but it's getting better. I just came back from my one day follow up and my vision is already better than average :)
