Maryland Eye is proud to offer laser-assisted cataract surgery. Using a computer guided femtosecond laser platform (LenSx by Alcon), your surgeon will complete the most delicate parts of the cataract surgery within 30 seconds. You will then be taken immediately to the operating room, where the residual cataract material is vacuumed out, and your IOL inserted. Benefits include the ability to perform more precise astigmatism treatment, a perfectly centered IOL, and decreased manipulation and ultrasound energy used during cataract removal. Laser cataract surgery is not covered by medical insurance.
