Dr. Younger performs nearly all cataract surgery with the Catalys Laser as he believes this technology has taken the surgery to a new level of precision. Just as you have options when it comes to choosing the lens implant that you receive during cataract surgery, you also have the option of choosing the technology that is used to perform the procedure. That means you have the choice between surgery performed manually, or with the assistance of laser technology.
Either type of procedure can be effective when performed by a skilled surgeon, but laser-assisted cataract surgery procedures are generally more predictable and precise. Laser-assisted cataract surgery technology can automate certain steps during the procedure with laser precision, and correct astigmatism.
