Defining the Future of Laser Cataract Surgery
The Future is Now
Over the years, patient expectations for cataract surgery have steadily increased, fueled by continued innovation. By providing micron precision for each of the key steps of the cataract procedure, LenSx's state-of-the-art laser technology allows surgeons to continue to meet this challenge. The first femtosecond laser to receive FDA clearance for use inside the eye, LenSx® is helping to define the future of laser cataract surgery.
The planned corneal incisions
and lens laser patterns2
The blue and yellow overlays represent the lens and anterior capsulotomy treatment patterns. The red represents the corneal incisions. The size and position of these patterns can be pre-programmed and adjusted for ultimate surgeon control.
Image-Guided Laser, Fully Integrated Platform
LenSx has integrated proprietary optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology to allow the surgeon to view the eye's 3-D anatomy, and program and perform a comprehensive, computer-controlled surgical procedure. Anterior capsulotomy, corneal incisions, and lens fragmentation can be accomplished in a single step, before the surgeon even opens the eye in the operating room.
Unrivaled Precision and Safety, Unparalleled Reproducibility
LenSx enhances the successful performance of reproducible anterior capsulotomy, one of the most important steps in cataract surgery, with smooth, uniform edges that can reduce the risk of tears.1 Moreover, the laser allows for the surgeon to customize the capsulotomy diameter for each treatment, with unparalleled size and shape reproducibility compared to manual capsulorhexis.1
