The LenSx^® laser provides cataract patients with an optimized refractive cataract surgery experience. Typically, cataract surgeries are performed manually, with the surgeon using a blade to create all of the incisions during the procedure. With the introduction of the first FDA-cleared custom cataract laser, the LenSx^® femtosecond cataract laser, the cataract surgeons at Snead Eye Group have the ability to create incisions and reduce astigmatism with a laser.

When performing cataract surgery with the LenSx Laser, the incisions are more accurate and precise, thus eliminating some of the variables that have complicated cataract surgery results in the past. Recent results show that the laser is up to 10 times more precise than manual techniques for portions of the cataract surgery. By exhibiting a high level of accuracy and precision, the outcome of cataract surgery with LenSx^® is more predictable. Studies have shown that with cataract surgery using the LenSx® femtosecond cataract laser at Snead Eye Group, patients have a better chance of seeing 20/20 or better vs. manual blade incisions.

During your procedure, the LenSx^® femtosecond cataract laser has many advantages. Prior to cataract surgery, Snead Eye Group performs a number of tests as well as takes measurements to plan your cataract surgery. While measurements are taken before your procedure, the LenSx^® Cataract Laser uses a range of highly advanced technologies including integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) to capture precise, accurate, high-resolution images of your eyes. With the data collected from these images – and measurements a plan can be created for your cataract surgery that had not been possible with traditional technology.

Cataract surgery with LenSx^® is available at our Naples eye surgery center and our Fort Myers eye surgery center. Experience laser-focused eye care. Snead Eye Group is putting the precision of laser in everything we do. Schedule your consultation today.
