Why LenSX to Remove Cataracts
This is the first femtosecond laser cataract system to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. The approved procedures include: building the front capsulotomy that includes creating a circular incision inside the eye; breaking the cataract; and creating laser incisions on the cornea region. By specification, it has a laser data entry located at the left side, a joystick for control, and a 3D image screen at the right. All these features guide the eye surgeon in the entire cataract process.
This particular laser system is popularly used worldwide because of its derived numerous benefits which include better process automation, accurate and customizable incision structure, and perfect capsulotomies. In addition, it also offers flexible breaking patterns and efficient single-piece patient system. Moreover, it provides an avant-garde, high definition 3D technology.
The LenSx is a bladeless laser system that enables the eye surgeons to plan and execute surgeries to precise, customized specifications not achievable with other surgical procedures. It can aid in treating several eye conditions such as astigmatism by making accurate incisions in the cornea planes. Astigmatism is an eye ailment in which the eye exterior leans to a more oval figure rather than a round figure. It can also help remove cataracts efficiently. This is done by softening cataracts for simpler elimination. In the surgery, the murky lenses are extracted and, in most circumstances, taken place with an intraocular lens (IOLs).
The laser system analyzes high-definition eye images, enabling the surgeons to customize every process. The 3D images aid in the appropriate alignment of laser created incisions carrying a new degree of accuracy to cataract surgery. It offers patients with computer-administered accuracy as it automates some of the most difficult procedures of refractive cataract surgical operation. The laser takes the place of the conventional hand-held blade to make the best of all incisions for improved, reproducible surgeries.
UV LIGHT EXPOSURE
UV light exposure symptoms may not begin for 6 to 12 hours after exposure to ultraviolet light and can result in serious eye injury. Some UV exposed patients feel that there is something in their eye, have watering of the eye and/or sensitivity to light. Help keep your UV exposure to a minimum and protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses that filter the ultraviolet (UV) light.
Cataracts
A cataract is a common age-related eye problem that can affect one or both eyes decreasing clarity of vision over time. A cataract is clouding of a normally clear and healthy lens. There are many symptoms including; cloudy, fuzzy, blurry vision, sensitivity to light and difficulty seeing at night. If you have symptoms, make an appointment at Eye Michigan for correct diagnosis and to see if cataract surgery is the right choice for you, so that you can enjoy clear vision again.

LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK is an eye surgery which is made to repair the vision in patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. All laser surgeries which try to restore vision function by reforming the cornea, which is the translucent region of the eye. This is made so that light moving through it is appropriately concentrated onto the retina placed behind the eye. LASIK is one of the various surgical procedures which are made to reform the cornea.
This particular eye procedure has many benefits, including:
- It repairs vision. It has been studied that almost 96% of patients achieve their desired eyesight following the procedure.
- It is known to be less painful due to the use of numbing drops on the eyes. This is administered under local anesthesia.
- The restoration of vision is instantaneous the moment after LASIK is done.
- To further improve vision as you age, adjustments can be created following the procedure.
- Following this procedure, patients have less reliance to eyeglasses and contact lenses.
In some instances, patients who undergo this procedure often feel discomfort in the first two days following this eye surgery. Although chances are rare, some known side effects include glare, watching through halos on all sides of images, and dry eyes.
Prior to the performance of LASIK eye procedure, you need to speak with your eye surgeon on what to expect during and following the process. At your appointment, your medical history will be assessed and your eyes will be checked thoroughly. In surgery, a femtosecond laser is utilized to make a thin fold in the cornea. The anterior cornea is then peeled and the cornea tissue below it will be reformed with another laser. After the cornea is reformed, the cornea fold is placed back to complete the surgery.
