When it comes to cataract surgery, both laser-assisted and traditional methods are highly successful and safe. In simpler terms, evidence suggests that patients who undergo laser-assisted
cataract surgery
tend to see as well as those who opt for the traditional approach. Both procedures are relatively painless and have a short recovery period, with laser cataract surgery requiring less energy and time, thus reducing the recovery time. The laser has replaced the need for blades to make incisions and correct astigmatism. However, since the use of lasers and premium lenses are not covered by insurance, people will have to pay more out-of-pocket costs than with traditional cataract surgery.This article aims to provide readers with data from the large amount of literature on some crucial aspects of SCL compared to conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Like traditional surgeries, laser cataract surgeries break and remove cataracts and implant replacement lenses. It is
also possible
to some extent to prevent the most common complication after cataract surgery by using the laser to perform a primary posterior capsulotomy. To this end, aqueous humor was collected from 113 patients who had just undergone femtosecond laser treatment or were part of the 107-eye control group before starting conventional phacoemulsification. Both with laser-assisted cataract surgery and with traditional treatment, the goal is to remove the opaque lens of the eye and replace it with a transparent intraocular lens. As with any new technology, the price of laser cataract surgery is likely to decrease over time. It was concluded that femtosecond laser cataract surgery is a safe and accurate procedure, but it only minimally improves visual results.Laser-assisted bladeless cataract surgery reduces the number of instruments used and increases accuracy. Creating an accurate, safe and reproducible capsulotomy is essential for successful cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. Surgeries performed to correct changes in cataracts involve implanting artificial lenses to replace damaged natural lenses. Some patients may not be able to undergo laser cataract surgery due to certain anatomical features. Whether laser-assisted cataract surgery is right for you or not depends on many factors.
However, there are several contraindications, and some patients may benefit better from manual cataract surgery.
