Dr. Jerry Hu, who performed the first series of LenSx procedures in the Metroplex, stated: “the LenSx® femtosecond laser is an important milestone in delivering the benefits of laser refractive cataract surgery to patients, including treatment of astigmatism and the reduced use of ultrasonic power, which means increased safety and less surgical trauma.” As published in The Journal of Refractive Surgery, LenSx laser cataract surgery resulted in a 43% reduction in average ultrasonic power and a 51% reduction in effective ultrasonic time.

Dr. Brian Ranelle, who has over 34 years of experience in cataract surgery, noted that “additional benefits of the LenSx Laser cataract surgery technology include the ability to construct surgical incisions with perfect precision and reproducibility, resulting in more predictable surgical outcome. Combined with the state-of-the-art ReSTOR multifocal implant, LenSx offers patients the potential for reduced dependence on glasses.”

Referring to the ability of LenSx to customize each treatment to the patient’s eye, Dr. Hu observed that “LenSx femtosecond laser has turned cataract surgery, for the first time, from an analogue art to a truly digital science. This extraordinarily exciting technology makes blade-free, customized cataract surgery a reality for today rather than a promise for the future. We at Texas Eye and Laser Center are honored to be the first in the Metroplex to bring our patients the LenSx Experience.”

Although cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgery globally, the current manual techniques are subject to inaccuracy and variability. Femtosecond lasers have been utilized extensively for LASIK, with over 3 million procedures performed to date. The LenSx Laser is the first and only femtosecond laser that has received FDA clearance for use in cataract surgery.

Introducing Blade-Free Laser Cataract Surgery

Now, a cataract procedure as unique as your eye itself. The LenSx laser is an advanced, precision based technology that operates with unmatched precision and computer-control, helping surgeons to customize the procedure to your eye. It is unquestionably the most technologically advanced option for cataract patients.

While all human eyes share the same basic anatomical structure, every eye is just a bit different in terms of size, depth, curvature of the cornea and other key features. Which is why every eye must be carefully measured and mapped prior to cataract surgery. While these measurements have been routinely performed prior to surgery, the LenSx laser uses a range of highly advanced technologies – including integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) to capture incredibly precise, high-resolution images of your eyes. These images – and the measurements and data they provide – are then used to plan and perform a surgery to exacting specifications not attainable with traditional surgery.

The incredibly advanced LenSx laser is designed specifically for performing the most delicate ocular surgery. It uses a laser source to produce femtosecond laser pulses; an aiming system to localize specific targets in the eye; an optical delivery system to precisely deliver laser pulses to desired targets in the eye; and a computer controller to perform clinical procedures.

When you choose the LenSx laser approach, you will enjoy the benefits of:

• A bladeless, advance procedure
• A comfortable, relaxed setting
• A truly premium surgical experience
