THE LASER DIFFERENCE

Your surgeon offers the use of a cataract laser as part of your advanced cataract procedure because it is the most advanced technology available. It provides:

Safety: The laser’s imaging provides your surgeon with a 3-D model of your eye, allowing for more accurate information and treatment choices during your cataract removal procedure.

Precision: The laser’s advanced technology offers the most precise and accurate treatment available.

Results: The laser system allows your surgeon to precisely place the laser to effectively soften your cataract for removal and ensures the appropriate condition for the best lens placement, which helps restore your vision to its full potential.

The laser system uses a proprietary imaging system that scans and takes precise measurements of your eye, in order to provide your surgeon with a

3-D model of your eye’s anatomy.

THE LASER DIFFERENCE

The proprietary imaging system’s measurements are then used to calculate a customized treatment plan just for you.

THE LASER DIFFERENCE

The laser is then used to soften the cataract so it can be easily removed and to ensure the appropriate condition for the most accurate placement of your new intraocular lens. The laser is designed with comfort in mind, so you can relax knowing you have the latest technology available to treat one of your

most valuable senses – your sight.

THE LASER DIFFERENCE

The laser system is safe for your eyes. The advanced laser technology is supported by more than a decade of use by surgeons during other eye surgeries.

The laser system gives your surgeon more control and is less invasive than traditional surgery. You can have confidence and peace of mind knowing that your surgeon is guided by the precision and accuracy of the cataract laser system.
