Recent innovations in cataract surgery now make it possible for cataracts to be removed with greater precision and accuracy using The LenSx® Laser. Dr. Bliss is one of the first Ophthalmologists in the Sacramento Metropolitan area to offer this cutting-edge technology to his patients. Laser crafted incisions replace those performed with diamond scalpels, allowing better control of astigmatism and visual outcomes. The LenSx® Laser is able to prepare the cataract for removal in a way that requires less amounts of energy applied to the eye during surgery. The specialized LenSx® Laser software analyzes high resolution images of your eye which helps the surgeon to design a customized procedure just for you. The combination of the surgeons skill with this this state-of-the-art technology produces extraordinary results. This revolutionary technology is considered to be one of the most significant advancements in eye surgery since phacoemulsification (micro incisional techniques) were introduced more than 50 years ago. Traditional cataract surgery involves the use of diamond scalpels to perform the incisions in the cornea, allowing the surgeon to remove the cataracts. The LenSx® Laser is designed to improve the precision during critical points of a cataract surgery that are performed manually using the traditional technique. The LenSx® Laser adds computer control to the key steps of the cataract surgery. Once the cataracts have been removed, your natural lens will be replaced with and intraocular lens (IOL) implant, which will reduce the need for you to utilize corrective eyewear (glasses or contacts). The laser assisted cataract procedure can allow for more precise positioning of the intraocular lens for better vision. Your physician will discuss your customized options for the IOL implant at the surgical consultation. Laser Cataract Surgery may have many important advantages over traditional micro incisional cataract surgery: • Better self-sealing incisions with less chance of leakage • More accurate reduction of astigmatism • Potential for better quality vision (long-term) • Potential for clearer vision in the early post-operative period Call us today (916) 863-3143.
