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.
