Why Choose Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery?

Did you know?
Robotics have been used in medicine since the 1980's, increasing precision for brain surgery, hip replacements, Gl procedures, and now, cataract surgery.

What are the benefits of Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery?
Results
The use of robotic intelligence and precision guides gentle lens removal, optimal placement of your replacement lens (IOL), and accurate astigmatism correction, so you can experience your best possible vision after cataract surgery.
Today with robotic laser cataract surgery, automation and robotic intelligence can also help save patients 51 minutes compared to basic laser cataract surgery.1
Precision
Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery uses robotic laser precision instead of handheld blades and instruments. Robotic precision is critical for making accurate incisions and softening the cataract. This is because the tissues of the eye are very thin and delicate. Some are only half as thick as a sheet of cellophane! Robotic laser cataract surgery is the only blade-free cataract procedure.
Customization
Not all cataracts are the same. Robotic intelligence identifies how hard or soft your cataract is and recommends the best treatment for softening it. Your skilled surgeon will accept or make changes to the recommended treatment plan to ensure optimal treatment.
Robotic intelligence is also used to create a precise plan for treating astigmatism, if needed. Everyone's astigmatism is different, so customizing treatment is critical for achieving your desired visual outcome.
Peace of Mind
Only Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery is guided by detailed imaging and real-time monitoring during your procedure. The level of imaging detail that robotic intelligence provides helps your surgeon treat your cataract confidently. You can rest assured knowing that you are choosing the latest procedure available to treat your valuable sense of sight.
Accuracy
Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery uses laser marks in place of manual ink marks to guide accurate astigmatism treatment. Before the procedure, your eye’s measurements are also automatically transferred into the robotic system to reduce errors that can happen when data is entered by hand.
Comfort
The robotic laser reduces eye redness compared to the laser used in basic laser cataract surgery. Robotic laser cataract surgery may also help the eye heal faster. This is because robotic intelligence tells your surgeon how to best soften your cataract for easy and gentle removal. You are also able to remain on the same bed for the entire robotic laser cataract procedure, which is not the case for all types of cataract surgery.
