Breakthrough Technology for Cataract Surgery: The Lensar Laser
What is the Lensar Laser?
The Lensar laser is a 3D imaging, laser-precise micro-incision system that allows your surgeon to remove your cataract with ease and 10x accuracy. This technology represents a major breakthrough in cataract surgery, offering patients a more precise and efficient procedure with better outcomes.
This technology is changing the way cataract surgery is performed and offers patients many benefits, including:
• Increased accuracy – The Lensar laser system provides your surgeon with 3D images of your eye, allowing for more precise incisions. This leads to a quicker, more efficient surgery.
• Better outcomes – With the increased accuracy of the Lensar laser, patients can expect better vision following surgery. In fact, many patients report seeing better than they did before their cataract developed.
• Quicker surgery – The laser-precise incisions made by the Lensar laser allow for a quicker surgery. This means less time under anesthesia and a shorter recovery period.
