Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery has Revolutionized the Procedure

Traditional cataract surgery and laser-assisted cataract surgery can both be effective for removing cataracts when performed by a skilled surgeon. In fact, 95% of patients who undergo cataract surgery report improvement in their vision after their surgery. But, for a procedure that's performed in a space as small as the human eye, there may be room for enhanced precision, predictability, and surgical outcomes.  This is why Ophthalmologist, Kenneth Lindahl, offers the LenSx® Laser to his cataract patients.

Most cataracts develop slowly over time and will not greatly affect eyesight in the early stages. Cataracts are the clouding of the lens of the eye either due to natural aging or injury. Proteins and fibers in the lens of the eye begin to break down causing the formation of the cataract to create a haziness or blurriness in vision.
