LASIK vs. Contact Lenses
The most common way to eliminate cataracts is to replace your clouded lens with a new artificial one called an intraocular lens, or an IOL.

Traditional cataract surgery has been performed for years by making a micro incision at or near the cornea and gently removing the cloudy lens using high-energy sound waves. While this method is still quite effective, Rochester Eye & Laser Center is proud to offer another method -- the most advanced technology for cataract surgery using lasers.
Our advanced LenSx® femtosecond laser system offers better outcomes because it is based on computerized precision-controlled equipment, eliminating the possibility of human error. In the skilled hands of Dr. Lindahl, the #1 Femto laser bladeless cataract surgeon in Rochester, these tools allow precise and customized treatment, with rapid healing and recovery.
