FEMTOSECOND LASER ASSISTED CATARACT SURGERY

This is a new cataract surgery intervention that involves the use of laser beams to create micro incision on the cornea and then create a circular patch on the posterior lens capsule (a procedure called capsulectomy).

After the capsulectomy, the cataractous lens is broken down by the use of laser beams and drained out via phacoemulsification.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia and it takes about 25 to 30minutes.
