In 1949, Dr. Harold Ridley implanted the first intraocular lens to treat cataracts, marking a major change in the practice of ...

Recent advances in cataract surgery have increased ... lens material have enabled the surgery to be done through a small incision with quicker recovery and more predictable refractive outcome.

The laser softens the cataract, which results in less ultrasound energy during the surgery. Lower energy results in less swelling and shorter recovery time after surgery. The laser helps surgeons ...

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) has further elevated the precision of this procedure, minimizing complications and enhancing the speed of recovery. A 2023 study demonstrated that ...
