Question: IntraLase - All Laser LASIK is there a difference?
I am looking to get my laser eye surgery done in the summer but is there a difference with IntraLase and All Laser Lasik?

Answers:

Not really; it's like the whole Kleenex/"facial tissue" thing. Intralase is one company's laser technology, but there are other lasers on the market that do the same thing. Every surgeon has their own preference as to which brand of laser works best for them, but the technology is the same whether you call it "Intralase" or "bladeless" or "all-laser" or whatever.
Note that there is a big difference between LASIK and PRK (which doesn't use a blade either)... you've called it "all laser lasik" so I'm assuming you already understand this :)
