Robotic / Artificial Intelligence assisted Cataract surgery
Robotic cataract surgery, also known as femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery(FLACS), offers several potential advantages over conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery (phaco). However, it's essential to note that the decision between FLACS and phacoemulsification should be made in consultation with your ophthalmologist, and the choice may depend on individual factors and the surgeon's expertise. Here are some potential advantages of FLACS:
Advantages of FLACS
Enhanced Precision
The use of a femtosecond laser allows for highly precise incisions in the cornea and a perfectly circular and accurately sized capsulotomy (opening in the lens capsule). This precision contributes to more predictable surgical outcomes.
Reduced Energy Usage
FLACS reduces the amount of ultrasound energy (phacoemulsification) needed to break up and remove the cataractous lens. Reduced energy usage is beneficial in terms of minimizing the risk of thermal injury to surrounding tissues and reducing post-operative inflammation.
Customization
FLACS can be customized to match the patient's specific eye anatomy and the type of intraocular lens (IOL) being implanted. This customization can lead to optimized visual outcomes.
Reduced Risk of Complications
Studies suggest that FLACS have a lower risk of certain complications, such as anterior capsule tear or IOL dislocation, compared to traditional phacoemulsification.
Astigmatism Correction
FLACS can be used to correct astigmatism by making precise incisions in the cornea. This improves visual outcomes and reduces the need for glasses after surgery.
Reduced Surgeon Variability
FLACS reduces variability in surgical technique because many of the critical steps are performed by the laser, which follows a predefined treatment plan. This can be particularly advantageous in complex cases.
Potential for Premium IOLs
FLACS may be preferred when implanting premium IOLs, such as multifocal or toric lenses, which require high precision for optimal results.
