Benefits of laser cataract surgery over traditional cataract surgery:
- Allows for a “Bladeless” surgical experience.
- A unique, high-resolution, 3-D view of your eye allows your surgeon to tailor your cataract treatment, which can improve visual outcomes.
- Treatment options for astigmatism, reduces your dependence on glasses after surgery.
- More precise intraocular lens (IOL) placement in the eye, improves visual outcomes.
- Minimizes energy use, which promotes fast healing and visual recovery
Refractive cataract surgery is a custom cataract removal procedure. Traditional cataract surgery has always involved replacing the cloudy lens, or cataract with a synthetic lens through a small opening in the eye. Your surgeon now can make the incision with a laser.
Refractive technology allows our surgeons to plan and perform cataract surgeries with laser-like precision utilizing new laser methodology or innovative precision approaches to the most detailed portions of cataract surgery . This method of cataract surgery help the surgeons of Laser and Cataract Institute to experience more control and flexibility.
When used in conjunction, these advanced tools and a variety of intraocular lenses may give patients even more visual freedom after cataract surgery, helping them remain active for decades.
At your cataract consultation, you will be educated on the traditional approach as well as the laser refractive approach to cataract treatment so that a decision can be made for your situation and goals.
