The LenSx femtosecond laser allows us to do the following: All corneal incisions are made with the laser. The circular opening made in the structure holding your lens is made with exact precision using the computer-controlled laser. Studies have shown that with the laser opening the capsule surrounding the cataract, the lens implant position in the eye is more predictable than when the capsular opening is made with a blade or needle. With a more predictable lens position the surgical outcomes are more predictable. The cataract is pre-softened and fragmented with the laser. Corneal incisions can be precisely placed to reduce and eliminate corneal astigmatism.
