Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery

Your eyes are your windows to the world. Keeping them clear is one of the most important investments you can make for yourself.

Premium Cataract Surgery

Traditional cataract surgery is among the most common, safe and effective surgeries performed today. The result of the surgery depends heavily on the surgeon’s skill and experience. In traditional cataract surgery, the surgeon uses a hand-held blade to create an incision.

Laser-assisted cataract surgery is a premium upgrade from traditional cataract surgery in that it uses a femtosecond laser to remove cataracts accurately and precisely, replacing the use of handmade incisions. The surgeon designs a specific surgical plan with a 3-D image of the eye called optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Laser-assisted cataract surgery is a fully customizable, precision care solution for restoring your clearest possible vision. By using individual eye calibrations and advanced mapping of your specific eye data, this pre-planned outpatient procedure offers predictability and convenience.

Is Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery Right for You?
