Why is femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery more beneficial?
Femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery is an advanced surgery that works on femtosecond technology that gives high precision and accuracy in cataract surgery. Traditionally, this surgery is performed with hand-held surgical tools. Let’s discuss steps of femtosecond technology The corneal incision In every cataract surgery, an incision is made on the cornea to gain access to the interior of the eye and implant an intraocular lens. Traditionally, the incision is made with a handheld tool with a sharp metal or diamond blade. In femtosecond technology, the surgeon prepares a plan for making an incision on the cornea. A sophisticated 3-D image called optical coherence tomography of the eye is created and an incision on the right location and right depth and length is made using femtosecond laser. The precision and accuracy of the incision improves self-healing with lesser chances of infection. The capsulotomy The natural lens of the eye is surrounded ...
