Say goodbye to cataracts with femtosecond laser

Cataract is the opacity of the eye lens by losing its transparency. For this reason, visual clarity decreases and deteriorates. It can be due to age or hereditary reasons. Refractive surgery is the only treatment method for cataracts. Several different methods are used for this. One of them is the Femtosecond Laser Cataract treatment that has developed in recent years and has become widespread.

Thanks to the use of laser in cataract surgeries, it can be performed in a safer, safer, more comfortable manner and with minimized risk of complications compared to conventional surgical methods.

Differences of Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery According to the Classical Phaco Method 

Differences of Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery According to the Classical Phaco Method

The incision is opened with a laser and a knife is not used, tissue integrity is not compromised.

The incision is smooth and planned, which positively affects the postoperative visual clarity and image quality.

The risk of error is zero since it is made under computer control.

Edema and infection risk is very low

The surrounding tissues are not damaged while the lens with cataracts is shattered

Provides perfect preparation of the socket where the artificial intraocular lens is placed

In addition to cataracts, it also removes vision defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

In the classical Phaco Method, the most important factor in the success of the procedure is the physician's experience and the risk of complications is much higher in the classical method. Again, in the classical method, it takes time to return to routine life, as the period of edema recovery is long.

The femtosecond laser method has been developed to increase the success of the surgery, especially in patients who choose multifocal, trifocal, toric intraocular lenses and want to remain without glasses. "Femtosecond Laser" method should be the treatment method that should be preferred especially in patients who choose intraocular lens.

Before the operation, anesthetic drops are applied to the patient's eye twice in every 5 minutes. A vacuum is made with a special apparatus to visualize and fix the patient's eye; Since the eye is numb during this procedure, the patient does not feel any pain or ache. Then, in a short time such as 50-60 seconds, the incision and disintegration of the matted lens is completed. These parts are then aspirated and a new intraocular lens is placed.

After the procedure, the eye is not covered, only protective glasses are given. You can return to normal life after the routine control the next day.
