A New Standard in Cataract Surgery with Alcon LenSx Laser
Both traditional cataract surgery and laser-assisted cataract surgery are straightforward outpatient procedures performed in just minutes. In addition, both are generally safe and enjoy excellent success rates.
But for those who qualify, we are excited to offer FDA-approved femtosecond laser technology for a laser-assisted cataract surgery procedure. The LenSx laser is FDA approved for astigmatism management and can assist in the critical steps of cataract surgery. It is precise, accurate and decreases risk.
Dr. I uses the Alcon LenSx Laser technology for laser-assisted cataract procedures where astigmatism correction is needed, which allows him to see your cataract in high resolution while taking highly accurate measurements of your eye in real time. The computer-controlled laser assists in these important steps of the cataract surgery process:
- Corneal incision
- Capsule opening
- Preparing cataracts for removal
- Correction of any astigmatism
