Computer driven Laser Cataract Surgery
It has been called a bold leap forward. Performing cataract surgery with a computer driven laser has been the dream of eye surgeons for many years. Custom Laser Cataract Surgery represents one of the great surgical advances of our time.
Dr. William Rand, the director of the Rand Eye Institute is quoted as saying: “The accuracy of the laser system is a marvel of technology.” “There has never been anything like this before.”
While the skill, experience and proficiency of the cataract surgeon is still the predominant factor in achieving the best results, the precision of laser system adds a whole new dimension to obtaining the best vision possible.
