Femtosecond Laser

Femto Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery, or FLACS, may replace many of the steps during cataract surgery that require a blade and softens the cataract, allowing for an easier and smoother removal. In addition, the laser corrects mild astigmatism by relaxing the cornea at a precise depth, length, and orientation in a more precise and effective manner compared to manual, hand-made incisions.  Although FLACS isn't necessary for all cases of Cataract Surgery, there are certain conditions of the eye, and types of ocular anatomy where FLACS may offer a safer alternative.
