We have been performing cataract surgery at D’Ambrosio
Eye Care for more than 30 years with excellent results. Today, when you visit
D’Ambrosio Eye Care for your cataract evaluation we might suggest that we
perform your cataract removal and lens implants using a laser cataract surgery
procedure. Why the change, you ask?
According to researchers reporting in the Journal of Refractive Surgery, laser
cataract surgery does indeed allow for a gentler cataract surgery procedure.
While there is really no difference between manual cataract surgery and laser
cataract surgery in uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance
visual acuity, surgically induced astigmatism, and corneal aberrations, the
laser cataract surgery is gentler on the cornea as it caused less loss of
fragile endothelial cells and less corneal swelling from the cataract surgery.
Also, the amount of time required for the more intense parts of the cataract
surgery procedure-chopping, fragmenting and removing the cataract are
significantly lower with the laser cataract surgery.
If
you or someone you know has cataracts and is considering cataract surgery, they
are encouraged to schedule an eye examination at D’Ambrosio Eye Care by calling
