What Is

Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery?

Laser-assisted cataract surgery adds an extra level of precision to the operation as incisions are made with a laser instead of a blade. Although traditionally Cataract Surgery has been performed by a surgeon's hands, no surgeon can match the precision that the laser can bring to these steps of the operation. Modern cataract surgery can provide patients with more than just distance vision.
?
In addition, patients with small amounts of astigmatism can have this refractive problem corrected much more precisely with a laser. The procedure is fast, with virtually no discomfort, and vision is generally improved almost immediately. Most patients are thrilled with their dramatically improved ability to see near and far without glasses.
