Laser cataract surgery is a newer treatment option that automates the initial phases of cataract surgery. Instead of making the incision by hand, the femtosecond laser scans your eye and determines the best incision and treatment position to break down the cataract. The femtosecond laser provides three-dimensional and computer-guided imaging, which can increase predictability, precision, and better surgical outcomes for patients.
Laser cataract surgery offers enhanced precision and accuracy compared to traditional methods, reducing the risk of complications and improving visual outcomes. The advanced technology used in the procedure allows for more customized treatment tailored to each patient’s eye, leading to faster recovery and less post-operative discomfort. Additionally, it can more effectively address issues like astigmatism and ensure better alignment of the intraocular lens. Overall, these benefits contribute to a smoother surgery and potentially better long-term vision results.
