What is Femto-Second LASER Cataract Surgery?
Femto-Second LASER cataract surgery uses ultrafast laser pulses—each lasting just a fraction of a second—to create incredibly precise incisions in the eye. The technology assists our cataract surgeons by automating key parts of the procedure, such as corneal incisions, capsulotomy, and even preliminary lens fragmentation. This high level of precision helps reduce the amount of ultrasound energy required during the surgery and can contribute to a gentler procedure overall.
By delegating the most delicate aspects of the surgery to laser technology, our cataract surgeons aim to enhance safety and improve visual outcomes. The use of the femtosecond laser also means that many of the initial surgical steps are automated, allowing for a consistent approach tailored to each patient’s eye anatomy.
How Does Femto-Second LASER Surgery Differ from Traditional Cataract Surgery?
With Femto-Second LASER cataract surgery, many of these steps are pre-programmed and performed by the laser. For example:
