Refractive Cataract Surgery is laser-assisted, which improves the precision, customization and safety of many key surgical steps. This provides the opportunity for more desirable visual outcomes and potentially makes cataract surgery simpler, with fewer complications.
Refractive Cataract Surgery also uses a premium multifocal lens instead of a basic or standard monofocal lens. The use of premium lenses allows for the correction of refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia. Refractive Cataract Surgery has the potential to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses and/or contacts after surgery where regular cataract surgery’s goal is only to remove the cataract.
