About Robotic Custom Laser Cataract Surgery

• Use of femtosecond laser guided by robotic systems for highly precise, customized treatment based on detailed imaging of the patient's eye anatomy.
• Minimally invasive, bladeless surgery that reduces inflammation, lowers risk of infection, and enhances visual outcomes.
• Customized correction of astigmatism and optimal intraocular lens (IOL) placement.
• Faster healing time and minimal need for stitches due to smaller and more precise incisions.

This technology represents a major advancement over conventional cataract surgery by providing better surgical consistency, improved safety, and tailored treatment plans for each patient’s unique needs.
