Cataracts are a common problem causing a clouding of the lens, most frequently a result of aging. Cataracts can also occur in certain families, from eye trauma, other systemic diseases or medications.

About the Laser Cataract Surgery Procedure
During cataract surgery, two incisions are made into the eye. The capsule surrounding the cloudy lens (cataract) is opened; the cloudy contents are emulsified using ultrasonic energy and then vacuumed out of the eye. An artificial lens implant is placed into the eye.
With laser-assisted cataract surgery, perfect and precise incisions are made using a blade free femtosecond laser. The laser then fashions a perfectly round, perfectly centered opening of an exact diameter. The laser pre-softens the cataract, allowing it to be removed using less ultrasonic energy which makes the procedure gentler on the cornea (the clear crystal over the eye). Pre-existing astigmatism can be corrected with more reliability.
