Modern Cataract Removal Technologies

Femto AI Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS)

Precision-Engineered, AI-Guided, Blade-Free Vision Correction

Femto AI Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery, or FLACS, is the most advanced technique available today for cataract removal. This next-generation approach blends femtosecond laser technology, artificial intelligence, and real-time 3D imaging to offer unmatched precision, safety, and visual outcomes.

What Makes FLACS Different?

Unlike traditional cataract surgery, which relies on handheld blades and manual steps, FLACS is fully bladeless and computer-guided. It uses a femtosecond laser, controlled by advanced imaging and AI-driven planning, to perform critical parts of the surgery with micron-level accuracy.

Key Steps Performed by the Laser:

• Corneal Incisions – precise, blade-free entry
• Capsulotomy – perfect, centered opening of the lens capsule
• Lens Fragmentation – softens and breaks up the cataract for easy removal

This improves surgical safety, IOL positioning, and post-operative recovery — especially important when using premium intraocular lenses like multifocal, toric, or EDOF lenses.

AI + Real-Time Imaging = Enhanced Safety

• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging scans your eye in real-time.
• AI-assisted planning ensures every incision and step is customized to your eye’s unique anatomy.
• Enables unmatched consistency — essential for optimal outcomes with high-performance lenses.

Benefits of Femto AI Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery

Feature	Benefit
Blade-Free Precision	Reduces complications and improves healing
AI & 3D Imaging	Fully personalized treatment
Better IOL Centration	Maximizes performance of premium lenses
Gentle Lens Fragmentation	Less ultrasound energy = faster recovery
Faster & More Predictable Vision	High patient satisfaction with visual results

Why Advanced Technology Matters?

Advanced techniques like Femto AI Laser not only improve safety and precision but also maximize the performance of premium intraocular lenses (IOLs). This means:

• Better clarity
• Lower risk of visual disturbances
• Higher satisfaction with glasses-free vision

Types of Intraocular Lens (IOL) Options

Once the cataract is removed, it’s replaced with a new artificial lens — the Intraocular Lens (IOL). Your choice of IOL will determine how well you see after the surgery — with or without glasses.

Here are the main types of IOLs available:

1. Monofocal IOL

• Offers clear vision at one fixed distance (usually far).
• Patients will still need glasses for near tasks like reading or mobile usage.
• Simple, effective, and budget-friendly option.
• Covered under most insurance plans.

Best for:

 Patients who are comfortable using reading glasses
 Those looking for standard correction at a lower cost

2. Multifocal IOL

• Designed with multiple optical zones for different distances.
• Allows vision at near, intermediate, and distance without glasses.
• May cause mild glare or halos, especially at night.

Best for:

 People wanting reduced dependence on glasses
 Patients who are okay with slight visual disturbances in exchange for spectacle freedom

3. Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOL

• Offers a smooth range of focus from distance to intermediate.
• Provides natural, seamless vision with minimal glare or halos.
• Ideal for patients who use screens, drive frequently, or want improved low-light performance.
• Examples: Tecnis PureSee™, Alcon Vivity™

Best for:

 Office professionals, night drivers, gadget users
 Patients seeking modern vision correction without multifocal rings

4. Toric IOL

• Specially designed for patients with corneal astigmatism.
• Corrects both the cataract and astigmatism, improving visual clarity without glasses.
• Available in monofocal, multifocal, and EDOF designs.

Best for:

 Patients with moderate to high astigmatism
 Those looking for sharper, more precise vision correction

5. Premium Multifunctional Lenses

• The latest generation of IOLs combining multiple technologies:
  • Extended depth of focus
  • Low-light enhancement
  • Glare and halo reduction

• Examples include:
  • Tecnis Synergy™ IOL – full-range vision with enhanced contrast
  • Tecnis Synergy™ OptiBlue™ IOL – adds blue-light filtering for improved night vision
  • Tecnis PureSee™ IOL – pure EDOF lens with no rings, no halos

Best for:

 Active individuals who want clear, glasses-free vision in all situations
 Patients who drive at night, work on computers, and engage in dynamic visual tasks

How to Choose the Right IOL?

Choosing the right lens depends on:

• Your visual goals (distance vs. reading vs. all-in-one)
• Work and lifestyle (office work, outdoor, driving)
• Pre-existing eye conditions (like astigmatism, dry eyes)
• Budget and insurance coverage

Our experienced ophthalmologists will guide you through a personalized consultation to help you make the best choice for your eyes.
