With bladeless femtosecond laser cataract surgery, the entire laser process is done under computer-guided imaging. This means there is greater control and reliability of the cut, which allows a perfectly shaped, perfectly sized and accurately centered capsule opening to be made into the cataract lens. This allows a more accurate positioning and insertion of the artificial lens implant, which improves the visual outcome. The femtosecond laser is also used to cut the cataract into 4 – 6 pieces, and this reduces the amount of ultrasound energy needed to remove the cataract.
