Abstract
Light scattering from the back surface of the IntraLASIK flap creates a spectral pattern whose visual impact is clinically inconsequential in the majority of patients. The spectral pattern and visual angle correspond to a grating size that matches the raster spot separation of IntraLase pulsing. Eyes treated with newer focusing optics of higher numerical aperture reduced the rainbow symptom. Variance in optical quality and numerical aperture can impact the spot size and uniformity of IntraLase flap creation.
