I am really excited! I spent last weekend in California at a medical meeting where we learned more about the latest breakthrough in cataract procedures. I know this may sound a bit boring, but I promise there are very exciting things ahead.
Within the next few months, we will be using a femtosecond laser in cataract surgery. The femtosecond technology is the same technology that we have trusted to perform blade-free LASIK procedures for about a decade, but we have not had a femtosecond laser for cataract surgery…. until now. This will revolutionize cataract surgery as we know it, increasing the accuracy and predictability of the procedure, as it eliminates the need for a blade.
What does this mean for you?
The number one way this impacts our patients is improved accuracy. The femtosecond lasers provide increased precision, which means a more predictable outcome for our patients. Cataract patients have been asking us for years when we’ll be able to use a laser for their procedure, because they trust the blade-free technology. We’re now excited to say the answer is very soon. We’re currently doing research on this new technology, but can honestly say that we’re looking forward to providing blade-free cataract procedures to our patients.
People choose Mann Eye Institute because of our experience and commitment to technological advancements. They feel safe knowing we’ve performed thousands of cataract procedures in the last three decades, always working to provide the most advanced technologies that we believe will provide the outcomes our patients demand. We are thrilled to take the next step in cataract procedure technology by offering our patients a femtosecond cataract laser.
