Laser Cataract Surgery

Laser Cataract surgery is an alternative to traditional cataract surgery that may offer another effective treatment for patients with cataracts.

The procedure consists of a femtosecond laser that delivers near-infrared light to break up the cataract into tiny pieces before removal. This means that all the surgeon has to do is remove those pieces with a vacuum, and ideally, he either will not need ultrasound or will require less ultrasound.

This is an important breakthrough, as ultrasound can cause collateral damage to the eye, prolonging recovery and clouding the cornea, or the clear outer layer of the eye. Dr. Schneider exclusively performs cataracts surgery this way because of the safety and the outcomes.

Phacoemulsification

Dr. Mark Schneider performs one of the most advanced procedures available today for cataracts. Phacoemulsification is a surgery in which the clouded cataract is depleted by ultrasound, irrigated, and suctioned out. This technique has quickly gained popularity in recent years and is now considered the most preferred type of surgery for cataracts.

During the procedure, Dr. Schneider makes a small incision and using an ultrasound device that emits high-frequency waves; he breaks the cataract into very tiny pieces and suctions them out. After cleaning up, a thin lens is then inserted.

Phacoemulsification is not painful, and patients can resume their normal activities faster than with other types of procedures. The wound heals faster and fewer follow-up visits are required. Because of the tiny size of the incision, stitches are not required.
