Bladeless Femtosecond Laser-assisted Cataract Surgery | Eyes (Ophthalmology

Bladeless Cataract Surgery

Understanding the Procedure

Cataract surgery restores your eyesight by removing the lens in your eye that is cloudy and replaces it with a clear artificial lens. In bladeless cataract surgery, one of our skilled specialists makes incisions (cuts) with a laser rather than the conventional scalpel.

The use of a laser improves the precision of surgery and 3D real time imaging ensures accurate positioning of the artificial lens, resulting in better post-surgery vision.
How You May Benefit
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:
  1. Fewer corneal tissues are manipulated
  2. There is less inflammation and infection because of the small size of the incisions
  3. You can be treated for astigmatism and cataracts in the same surgery
