Femtosecond Laser

The femtosecond laser allows us to make precise incisions into the cornea and parts of the lens prior to cataract surgery. With the laser, you can expect the following:

• Improved wound structure, which decreases the risk for infection and wound leakage.
• Decrease in the amount of energy usage within the eye, which may reduce complications and allow for faster healing.
• A circular (as opposed to an irregularly shaped) opening to place the new IOL. This leads to more predictable outcomes.
• Correction of mild to moderate amounts of astigmatism, which may make you less dependent on glasses following the surgery.
• Laser technology combines precision performance and computer-guided accuracy to complement your surgeon's skills. Not everyone is a candidate for laser-assisted cataract surgery. Your surgeon will evaluate your eyes and discuss all of your options with you.
