Abstract

-- Real-time OCT imaging during procedures to improve surgeon control and precision. Visualization during surgery helps to ophthalmologists plan safer, more efficient cataract removals. -- Advanced docking systems with less vacuum and better stabilization of the eye help increase accuracy, particularly for capsulorhexis and lens fragmentation. -- Less phako energy is required during surgery, ensuring more rapid visual recovery, particularly for patients with severe cataracts. -- Femtosecond laser cataract removal, paired with premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), provides patients with a wide range of eye care solutions including patients seeking elective surgery. -- A highly customized procedure that can reduce astigmatism and improve post-op uncorrected vision. -- Greater predictability in patient outcome. -- Little or no patient discomfort.
