Innovations in Cataract Surgery: Laser vs. Traditional Methods
Cataract surgery has come a long way in recent years, and patients now have options. At The Eye Care Clinic, Lucknow, we offer both traditional and advanced laser-assisted cataract surgery. But how do the two compare?
Traditional Cataract Surgery
-
Involves making a manual incision with a scalpel
-
The cloudy lens is broken up using ultrasound (phacoemulsification)
-
A new intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
-
Uses a femtosecond laser for precise incisions
-
Can assist in softening the lens for easier removal
-
Offers better accuracy in IOL placement
Key Differences
| Feature | Traditional | Laser-Assisted |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Manual | Computer-guided |
| Incision | Scalpel | Laser |
| Cost | Lower | Slightly higher |
| Recovery | Fast | Often faster |
