Surgery performed with Alcon’s LenSx Laser is a truly innovative solution that allows for customization in cataract surgery. A bladeless, computer- controlled laser allows the surgeon to plan and perform your surgery to exacting, individualized specifications.
The LenSx Laser uses a range of highly advanced technologies – including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)- to capture incredibly precise, high resolution images of your eyes. These images and the data they provide are then used to exacting specifications not attainable with traditional surgery.
In non-laser cataract surgery, the surgeon makes incisions and removes the old lens using traditional surgical instruments and blades. The LenSx Laser performs several of the most critical steps of the surgical process with an image-guided femtosecond laser.
Drs. Ashburn and Buttross are both certified on the LenSx femtosecond laser. They are eager to discuss whether this surgical option is right for you.
