Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery
Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery can make the procedure safer, more precise and customized to your eye. The laser first scans your eye and provides a “3-D blueprint”, identifying all the important eye structures related to the surgery.
Using this “3-D blueprint”, the laser creates a perfectly round and centered opening in the lens capsule, which allows better positioning of the intraocular lens implant (IOL).
The laser also softens the lens, which helps facilitate removal of the cataract and reduces the risks of certain complications. Furthermore, the laser makes customized incisions in the cornea, which can help correct astigmatism.
