Laser Cataract Surgery

 
Eyecare Associates is proud to offer laser cataract surgery. With the Catalys® Precision Laser System, our eye surgeons have exceptional control over every phase of cataract surgery and can remove cataracts with precision not previously possible. While Eyecare Associates has always provided our patients cataract surgery of the highest standard, the Catalys System® makes the procedure more safe, more comfortable and more predictable in terms of its outcome.

Catalys System Features include:

• Designed specifically for laser assisted cataract surgery
• For patients undergoing cataract surgery for removal of the natural crystalline lens
• Allows the surgeon to provide you with gentle, accurate and customized treatment – 3D imaging
• Many of the steps of cataract surgery that are traditionally performed using handheld instruments can now be completed using the precision of a laser
• If patients desire to see well without glasses following cataract surgery, Catalys allows for tailored treatment that could include precise laser incisions in the cornea along with a specific lens implant type
