What is the LenSx Laser?
LenSx Surgery performed with Alcon’s LenSx® Laser is a truly innovative solution that allows for customization in cataract surgery. A bladeless, computer- controlled laser allows the surgeon to plan and perform your surgery to exacting, individualized specifications.
The LenSx® Laser uses a range of highly advanced technologies – including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)- to capture incredibly precise, high resolution images of your eyes. These images and the data they provide are then used to exacting specifications not attainable with traditional surgery.
In non-laser cataract surgery, the surgeon makes incisions and removes the old lens using traditional surgical instruments and blades. The LenSx® Laser performs several of the most critical steps of the surgical process with an image-guided femtosecond laser.
Drs. Ashburn and Buttross are both certified on the LenSx® femtosecond laser. They are eager to discuss whether this surgical option is right for you.
