There are several benefits to bladeless cataract surgery, as opposed to traditional cataract surgery:
- The computer images allow for the shape of your eye to be mapped precisely.
- The laser improves the precision of surgery.
- Your surgeon can make an incision that is perfectly formed according to the shape of your eye.
- There is more precise positioning of the artificial lens.
- Recovery is quicker than with traditional surgery because:
- Fewer corneal tissues are manipulated
- There is less inflammation and infection because of the small size of the incisions
- You can be treated for astigmatism and cataracts in the same surgery
