What is bladeless Laser Assisted Refractive Cataract Surgery?\r
Standard, manual cataract surgery is a complex surgical procedure with an excellent track record for safety. Even in the best of hands there is some variability in how each step is performed. This is one of the main reasons why following standard cataract surgery, the majority of patients still need glasses for some or all activities.\r
\r
With bladeless Laser Assisted Refractive Cataract Surgery many of the most challenging steps of cataract surgery are automated and performed with a laser. After a 3-D scan of your eye, a customized surgical plan is designed by the surgeon on a computer screen. Once all the specifications are programmed, the computer guides the laser to perform each step. The laser can reduce astigmatism and allows for a more precise placement of the lens implant. The result? Optimized vision without glasses!\r
