What is a Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS)?

In this video Dr. Gabriel Chu at Fraser Valley Cataract & Laser located in Surrey British Columbia uses an Alcon LensX Femtosecond Laser to assist in routine Cataract Surgery. The laser will make precise near-perfect incisions in less time than manually-made incisions . It generally improves accuracy and consistency. Often FLACS can improve the safety of cataract surgery compared to traditional surgery. How this procedure is typically done is a camera/ultrasound device is placed over your eye to map its surface. It also gathers information about your lens. The device sends the results to a computer that programs the laser. This tells the laser the exact location, size, and depth for incisions. The surgeon uses the laser to make the corneal incision and the opening in the capsule. They may also use energy from the laser to soften the cataract. An ultrasound probe breaks the lens into pieces and suctions them out. The surgeon then puts the IOL in the eye. Again, the incision usually does not need stitches.
