Traditional cataract surgery has been a safe technique and also one of the most successful and frequently performed procedures today. However, with new advancements, laser cataract surgery provides additional benefits and also provides patients with vision improvements beyond simply removing their cataracts.
Laser cataract surgery allows cataracts to be removed more gently than before, especially for those patients in advanced stages. This means less inflammation and an easier and faster recovery.
In addition, during the procedure, a new intraocular lens implant (IOL) replaces the natural, clouded lens that was the cataract. Combined with laser cataract surgery, patients may select an Advanced Lifestyle Lens that can provide a full range of vision reducing a patient’s dependence on glasses. Laser cataract surgery can also correct mild to severe astigmatism utilizing laser technology and a Toric Lens Implant.
The results…patients are amazed with their renewed youthful vision, that matches their active lifestyle. If you have a cataract interfering with your daily life, there is no better time than now for laser cataract surgery!
