UltraView RELACS™
Refractive laser-assisted cataract surgery (ReLACS™) is a major step forward in how cataract surgery is performed and brings unprecedented precision and safety to a surgery traditionally performed by hand and with ultrasound energy. UltraView ReLACS™ was the forefront for U Eye Laser Cosmetic’s state-of-the-art laser cataract surgery customized for your eye.
With the laser approach to cataract surgery, a 3-D image of the operated eye is first acquired using an OCT (optical coherence tomography). This image is then used to guide the femtosecond laser to make precise, surgeon-programmed incisions in the eye to enhance or replace several critical steps performed during cataract surgery.
The UltraView ReLACS™ approach uses the femtosecond laser to create an opening in the capsule with incredible speed, predictability, and accuracy. This reduces the risk of an irregular capsular opening by the traditional manual approach. Studies have shown that laser capsulotomies enable better centration of the intraocular lens (IOL), which is a significant factor in determining final visual outcomes. Laser surgery for cataract treatment is one of the most successful procedures. We have skilled, experienced surgeons who know how to use advanced technology and ensure you receive the desired outcome.
Laser Cataract Surgery:
The UltraView ReLACS™ Difference
Cataracts are a leading cause of visual impairment globally, characterized by the clouding of the eye's natural lens. This condition is predominantly age-related and can significantly affect daily activities by blurring vision. However, the evolution of medical technology has introduced a refined method of addressing this challenge—UltraView ReLACS™, a form of laser cataract surgery that offers an ultra-precise, safe, and personalized approach to restoring clear vision.
Understanding UltraView ReLACS™
UltraView ReLACS™ stands as a pinnacle in laser cataract surgery, utilizing the Catalys® laser platform to deliver unparalleled accuracy. The procedure begins with high-definition 3-D imaging to guide the femtosecond laser, enabling surgeon-programmed incisions tailored to the individual's ocular structure. This technique replaces certain manual steps in traditional cataract surgery, enhancing precision and safety.
Benefits of UltraView ReLACS™ in Laser Cataract Surgery
Customized Precision: Each step of UltraView ReLACS™, from the blade-free corneal incisions to the perfectly centered capsulotomy, is customized for the patient's eye. This level of detail facilitates the optimal placement of intraocular lenses (IOLs), potentially leading to superior visual outcomes.
Enhanced Safety: The advanced technique softens the cataract more gently, minimizing the use of ultrasound energy. This gentle approach promotes quicker recovery, less swelling, and may improve visual results post-surgery.
Reduced Dependence on Glasses: By meticulously correcting astigmatism and utilizing Enhanced Single Focus or Expanded Range of Focus IOLs, UltraView ReLACS™ aims to improve natural vision and lessen the need for glasses post-procedure.
