Femto Cataract Surgery

Precision-Focused Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery

Femto cataract surgery is a high-tech laser-assisted approach of treatment to cataract removal that uses a femtosecond laser for the selected steps of the procedure. It may be considered for those patients whose eye examination indicates that this approach is fully appropriate. The plan of treatment depends on the type and intensity of cataract, the eye's anatomy, overall eye health and the surgeon's clinical assessment.

Femto laser cataract surgery uses laser technology to assist with specific steps, which may include creating precise corneal incisions, opening the lens capsule and fragmenting the cloudy lens. The remaining steps are completed using the appropriate surgical technique. The suitability and also the potential benefits of laser assistance vary from patient to patient, and it does not eliminate the risks associated with surgery.
