Bladeless Cataract Surgery

 

Bladeless Cataract Surgery


Cataract surgery at Mumbai Eye Care, Ghatkopar, is performed using the latest robotic technology which is completely bladeless and with ultrafine precision using the FEMTOSECOND LENSX LASER, ALCON, USA. This is an US FDA approved laser cataract surgery performed by our eye doctors and eye surgeon at Ghatkopar, Mumbai. This ensures complete blade free surgery, with high level of precision and excellent visual results. This technology makes the surgery very safe and reduces the chances of any complications to negligible.

How the Femtosecond Laser Works

Femtosecond laser performs most of the steps of cataract surgery that are otherwise performed using hand, thus decreasing the chances of human error and improves the precision.

Femtosecond LASER makes the cuts or incision on the cornea that were traditionally performed using blade. These incision are perfectly self sealing and thus do not need any sutures and heal rapidly.

The capsulorrhexis can be altered in terms of size and one can get a perfectly centered capsulorrhexis thus ensuring perfect IOL or lens positioning and better outcomes in cases of premium IOLs such as toric IOL and Multifocal IOL.

Benefits of Femtosecond/ Robotic/ Bladeless/ Bladefree cataract surgery at Mumbai Eye Care, Ghatkopar.

  • Most Advanced technology available today
  • A Complete Blade Free Procedure
  • Laser precise predictable outcomes
  • Enhanced Safety
  • Customized Procedure
  • Phacoemulsification: It is a simple procedure of less than 1 hour duration. Local anesthesia or sedation makes it painless for the patient. A tiny incision is made in front of eye with laser and inserts a pen-shaped probe to break the cloudy lens into pieces. This process is phacoemulsification. Suction then removes the pieces and surgeon places an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Lens can be made of plastic, silicone or acrylic. There are varieties of lens available for implantation as per the patient requirements like Monofocal, Toric and Multifocal intraocular lenses.
  • Itracapsular cataract surgery: Its rare nowadays, this technique needs larger incision and along with cataract surrounding capsule is also removed. Intraocular lens is placed in front of iris in this procedure.

Why we need Lasik?

  Eye is a complex structure having Cornea (the clear covering on the front of the eye), Iris, Pupil and Retina being important components for vision. For clear vision, the eye’s cornea has to be in right shape, as cornea being the transparent structure of the eye, refracts the light on the retina to form an image. Sometime patients complain of blurry image is referred as a "refractive error." It is caused by a mismatch between the shape of the cornea (curvature) and the length of the eye.  Common eye defects are: 1. Myopia (nearsightedness) 2. Hyperopia (farsightedness) 3. Astigmatism.

What are symptoms of Glaucoma?

  Open-angle glaucoma  is asymptomatic. It develops slowly and sometimes without noticeable sight loss for many years. Most people who have open-angle glaucoma feel fine because the initial loss of vision is of side or peripheral vision, and the visual acuity or sharpness of vision is maintained. As open-angle  glaucoma  has few warning signs or symptoms before damage has occurred, it is recommended to see a doctor for regular eye examinations. In  open-angle glaucoma , the angles in your eye are normal, but the eye’s drainage canals become clogged over time, causing an increase in internal eye pressure and subsequent damage to the optic nerve. In Angle-closure glaucoma  (also called narrow angle glaucoma) the angle is closed, causing increased eye pressure, which leads to optic nerve damage, and possible vision loss. There is an acute attack of angle closure leading to noticeable symptoms and damage occurs quickly. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate care from an
