Femtosecond laser technology

The femtosecond laser technology that brought new levels of safety, accuracy and predictability to LASIK surgery is also advancing cataract surgery. In our office, we call the procedure Refractive Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery ( ReLACS), but it also is known generally as laser cataract surgery. In laser cataract surgery, an . This technology has the potential to make similar inroads in cataract surgery, similar to . Obviously, the financial burden involved with femtosecond laser cataract surgery is making it difficult for many surgeons to pull the trigger on this technology.

The purpose of this study is to discuss applications and advantages of femtosecond lasers over traditional manual techniques, and related unique complications in cataract surgery and corneal refractive surgical .

Femtosecond laser technology has become widely adopted by ophthalmic surgeons.

LenSx and OptiMedica utilize Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT), while LensAR utilizes Scheimpflug imaging technology. A research trial to assess the benefits of the latest high-precision laser technology in routine NHS cataract operations is underway at Moorfields Eye Hospital. It will be the first time that femtosecond laser surgery will be widely available on the NHS for cataract patients. The trial, which has been funded by . The technology of FS laser has evolved significantly from its introduction. In the past few years, unique laser platforms have been brought to the market.

But this new technology also poses . New technology update: femtosecond laser in cataract surgery. Author information: (1)Department of Ophthalmology, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. Roberts TV(1), Lawless M, Chan CC, Jacobs M, Ng Bali SJ, Hodge C, Sutton G. The use of femtosecond lasers in cataract surgery: review of the published with the LenSx system.

PURPOSE: To review the published literature describing the use of the LenSx femtosecond laser technology (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) in cataract surgery. Nagy ZZ, Mastropasqua L, Knorz MC. In fact, more than 5surgeons are trained to use the system in countries.

This single laser platform enables surgeons to perform capsulotomies, fragmentation, arcuate incisions, corneal incisions, and LASIK flaps. VICTUS incorporates innovative technologies , . This ground-breaking laser system employs high-performance femtosecond laser technology and is characterized by its outstanding cutting precision, unsurpassed speed and gentle treatment technique. The VisuMax is thus the ideal platform for therapeutic and refractive applications of cutting-edge corneal surgery, . Where does this technology fit in to resident surgical training?
