Laser Cataract Surgery

What is laser cataract surgery?

Laser cataract surgery is a surgical procedure used to treat cataracts, a condition in which the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy and causes blurred or reduced vision. In selected cases, a femtosecond laser can be used to perform some steps of the procedure before the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL).

When is laser cataract surgery recommended?

Cataract surgery may be recommended when cloudy vision, glare, difficulty seeing at night, or other visual changes begin to interfere with daily activities. The ophthalmologist evaluates the cataract and the overall health of the eye to determine whether surgery is appropriate and which technique and intraocular lens are most suitable.

What specialist performs laser cataract surgery?

The procedure is performed by an ophthalmologist specializing in cataract surgery. Before surgery, the specialist performs detailed measurements and an eye examination to plan the procedure and select the appropriate intraocular lens.
