CATARACT SURGERY
state-of-the-art technology
Better technology means better visual outcomes, and Collins Vision is a leader in bringing the latest breakthroughs in eye care to the region. We pride ourselves on using the safest, most up-to-date technology including the use of a Femtosecond Laser to perform Laser Cataract Surgery, a variety of intraocular lenses, and the latest in diagnostic equipment.
CATARACT SURGERY TECHNOLOGY
Collins Vision is one of the first few practices in the country to obtain the VICTUS® Femtosecond Laser Platform to assist in performing custom laser cataract surgery. Custom laser cataract surgery represents one of the great surgical advancements of our time and the VICTUS®, in particular, has been named the new benchmark for safety and precision.
Collins Vision is proud to be the first in our area to offer the ZEPTO® microsurgical technology to our patients. This new standard for cataract surgery enables our surgeons to obtain consistently superior results in all cases by creating a perfectly round capsulotomy aligned to your visual axis. This smoother, well-formed capsulotomy improves visual outcomes in patients post-cataract surgery. This is especially important for those patients who do not opt for laser-assisted cataract surgery with a premium lens or for those who are not good candidates for femtosecond technology. At Collins Vision, we are always happy to invest in technologies that help you, our patients, achieve the best visual outcomes.
Collins Vision is pleased to announce the ORA SYSTEM® the next generation in providing precise measurements of the eye during cataract surgery. This allows our doctors to measure the eye and refine visual outcomes during the procedure, rather than having to ‘wait and see’ weeks or even months afterward, as with traditional cataract surgery. ORA SYSTEM® measurements are used to assist the procedure and help ensure patients get the best possible outcomes.
The ORA SYSTEM® uses Wavefront technology to analyze many possible imperfections of the way light passes through the eye to the retina. ORA SYSTEM® can tell if the eye is in focus at the time of surgery, and if it is not, the ORA SYSTEM® helps our doctors focus the eye.
Benefits of the ORA SYSTEM® include:
- The ORA SYSTEM® helps our Doctors achieve better results and provide our patients an improved quality of vision.
- The ORA SYSTEM® gives us an added level of support for better outcomes.
- If you have astigmatism, and choose to have it corrected at the time of cataract surgery, the ORA SYSTEM® may improve the accuracy of your correction to help reduce the chance you’ll need to wear eyeglasses after your procedure.
The OCULUS Pentacam® utilizes a rotating camera to create a 3D topographic map. This gives Dr. Collins and Dr. Friedrichs the most accurate measurements of the thickness, contour, and shape of your cornea and ensures that he has the most comprehensive information about your eye prior to your cataract or laser vision correction procedure.
The OCULUS Pentacam® provides a topographical map of both the front and back of your cornea.
