The Intelligent Approach to Cataract Surgery |
|
|
Femtosecond laser cataract surgery with LENSAR® utilizes the most
sophisticated 3D imaging laser system available to make highly accurate
incisions in the eye during cataract surgery. The LENSAR Laser System is
a seamless integration of both advanced femtosecond laser and
proprietary measurement and laser scanning technologies. |
|
|
|
The LENSAR approach brings accuracy and precision of femtosecond lasers
into cataract surgery. LENSAR will replace blades and greatly reduce, if
not even eliminate the need for ultrasound power, enhancing the speed
and precision of the majority of cataract removals. This is because the
LENSAR design goals required the system to increase the overall surgical
efficiency, safety and predictability of lens removal, while also
improving the stability and predictability of intraocular lens
placement.
With precision at the micron level, the LENSAR
femtosecond laser may significantly enhance both the accuracy and
predictive replication of key manual steps performed during cataract
surgery to enhance the visual outcomes of cataract patients. |

Advanced cataract
surgery is designed to improve your vision and reduce your
dependency on glasses or contact lenses. During your procedure,
your surgeon will use the most advanced technology available,
including premium intraocular lenses and the LENSAR Laser System
with Augmented Reality™, an advanced imaging system.
LENSAR's superior Augmented Reality imaging system
represents a more intelligent approach to cataract surgery. With
Augmented Reality, your surgeon can see everything inside your
eye in greater detail. This allows the surgeon to plan the
surgery better, to precisely soften the cataract in preparation
for removal, and to ensure the appropriate condition for the
most accurate placement of your intraocular lens.
It is
LENSAR's precision, imaging, and laser incisions that allow your
surgeon to ensure that the cataract is safely removed and that
the new intraocular lens is perfectly placed, resulting in
better visual outcomes. |

LENSAR Femtosecond Laser in cataract surgery Benefits
• It is safe, effective, and uses the proven laser technology. •
A unique, high-resolution 3-D view of your eye that allows your surgeon
to tailor your treatment, which can improve visual outcomes. •
The most advanced technology available, which may reduce the time it
takes to remove your cataracts. • A system designed with comfort in mind, so you can relax,
knowing the latest technology available is being used to treat one of
your most valuable senses- your sight. |
|
Depending on your pre-surgical eyesight and the desired result, our
surgeon will tailor a treatment plan with the help of the CATALYS System
which will involve the implementation of a high-precision laser incisions
into the cornea and the implantation of a special intraocular
lens/premium lens (e.g. a multifocal lens). This customized
treatment may reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact
lenses. |

DDuring cataract surgery, the lens,
which has become cloudy, is normally removed through small incisions.
Traditionally these incisions are done manually with a blade or needle.
While the blade technique is still effective, the LENSAR uses a
3D-Imaging measurement and guidance system to visualize and characterize
the surfaces of the eye.
This feature, which is unique to the
LENSAR Laser System adjusts for individual differences and allows
customized treatment which facilitates precise, automated and accurate
surgery for reliable outcomes.
The LENSAR laser also assists in
softening the cataract prior to its removal. All modern cataract surgery
involves the use of ultrasound to break up or emulsify the lens
material.
The more mature the cataract, the harder the lens material, and
therefore, the greater the amount of ultrasound energy required to
dissolve the lens. If excessive, this energy can damage the delicate
cells on the inside of the cornea (the clear front of the eye),
potentially leaving the vision blurry after surgery. The LENSAR laser
can soften the lens material so that hardly any ultrasound energy is
needed.
This in turn means there is less chance of corneal damage
from the procedure and a quicker recovery of vision. This is
particularly important in patients who already have a "weak" cornea. |
