Recovery from laser cataract surgery is usually quick and smooth. Many patients notice clearer, brighter vision shortly after surgery, with continued improvement over the following weeks. Most return to normal activities shortly after surgery, following their surgeon’s post-operative instructions.
It is an advanced cataract surgery technology that uses robotic intelligence, detailed imaging, and laser precision to assist your surgeon with key steps of cataract removal and lens replacement.
Yes. Robotic-assisted Laser Cataract Surgery uses laser precision rather than handheld blades for certain steps of the procedure.
Yes, when appropriate. The ALLY system can help create a precise plan for astigmatism treatment and uses laser marks instead of manual ink marks to guide treatment.
That depends on your eyes and the lens option you choose. Premium lens options may reduce dependence on glasses for some patients.
Traditional cataract surgery is often covered by Medicare and many insurance plans. Advanced laser technology and premium lenses may involve additional out-of-pocket costs.
Cataracts caused by aging develop gradually, and patients may not notice the early vision changes they cause. It is only when their cataracts begin to interfere with vision that patients may become aware of them.
An ophthalmologic examination will detect cataracts and rule out other causes for vision issues, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration. Patients who become aware of visual difficulties related to cataracts usually experience clouded, blurred, or dim vision, especially at night.
You may be a candidate if cataracts are affecting activities such as:
Your surgeon will evaluate your eyes and medical history to determine whether LensAR ALLY robotic-assisted laser cataract surgery is appropriate for you.
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the United States and is considered very safe and effective. However, like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications patients should understand before treatment.
While complications are uncommon, possible risks of cataract surgery may include:
The risk of complications may be slightly higher for patients with existing eye conditions or certain medical issues. That’s why a thorough evaluation is essential before surgery.
After your procedure, contact your eye doctor immediately if you experience:
Early treatment of complications is critical to protecting your vision.
