FLACS
At Dayal Eye Centre, we are dedicated to providing advanced surgical solutions for cataract treatment. Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) utilizes ultrafast laser technology to enhance the precision and safety of cataract procedures, offering our patients improved visual outcomes and a more comfortable surgical experience.
The FLACS can be used for diagnosing and monitoring the following eye conditions:
- Cataracts
- Astigmatism
- Presbyopia
- Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
- Complicated Cataracts
Enhanced Precision in Incisions
The femtosecond laser creates corneal incisions with accuracy up to 10 micrometers, surpassing the precision achievable with manual techniques. This high level of accuracy is particularly beneficial when implanting advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs), such as trifocal or toric lenses.
Automated Capsulotomy
FLACS performs a laser-guided capsulotomy, creating a consistently sized and perfectly round opening in the lens capsule. This precision enhances the stability and positioning of the IOL, contributing to better visual outcomes.
Lens Fragmentation
The laser pre-softens and segments the cataractous lens, reducing the amount of ultrasound energy required during phacoemulsification. This minimizes potential trauma to surrounding ocular tissues and promotes faster recovery.
Astigmatism Correction
FLACS allows for the creation of precise arcuate incisions to correct pre-existing corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery. This integrated approach can reduce dependence on glasses for distance vision postoperatively.
Real-Time Imaging Integration
The procedure incorporates high-resolution imaging systems, such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), to guide laser application. This real-time imaging ensures accurate laser delivery tailored to the unique anatomy of each patient's eye.
Improved Safety and Consistency
By automating critical steps of cataract surgery, FLACS reduces the variability inherent in manual techniques. This automation enhances the overall safety profile of the procedure and leads to more predictable surgical outcomes.
