EuroEyes laser lens and cataract surgery technique offers patients the opportunity to experience lens surgery in patients with presbyopia without the use of bladed or knives traditionally used to perform the necessary surgery.

The laser cataract surgery brings a new level of accuracy and reproducibility to presbyopic surgery allowing the surgeons from EuroEyes to plan and perform each patients lens procedure to customised specifications that were previously unachievable.

„The femtosecond LenSx Laser has advantages” explains Dr Jørgensen, medical director and founder of the EuroEyes Group. „Firstly, it allows a perfectly-shaped, sized and well-centred opening to the eye. This is opposed to manually make the operation.“

“Secondly, we use the laser to soften the cataract for easy removal. This means less ultrasound energy is needed, and this is good for patients. Using the laser for the incision on the cornea means it’s also more precise and completely bladeless. Within 45 seconds, the laser will make it easy to remove the old lens and treat patients with presbyopia.“

Astigmatism can be treated

For the third advantage, those with astigmatism (up to 2,0-2,5 dpt) can have it treated, as the femtosecond laser is capable to correct the astigmatismTheLenSx Laser can correct for low astigmatism, allowing patients to see as clearly as possible for distance vision without relying on glasses. The entire laser procedure is also video-guided, says Dr. Jørgensen , who performs bladeless lens removal and multifocal lens surgery in Germany and China. By combining the most advanced with bladeless laser cataract surgery, patients are able to customise their vision and minimize their dependence on glasses.

General information about LenSx Laser

The new LenSx® laser represents a paradigm shift in the surgical treatment of presbyopia and cataract – the world’s most commonly performed surgery. The laser replaces several steps which were manually performed by the surgeon before. The LenSx femtosecond laser revolutionises this surgical method, which has remained unchanged for over 40 years. It combines several partial steps and makes the surgeon’s scalpel superfluous. This allows not only a painless procedure, but also a reduction of human mistakes to an absolute minimum. Patients benefit from an even greater accuracy, perfection and safety which cannot be reached on that high level by a hand-guided surgery.

EuroEyes has been one of the first clinical groups for lens surgery in Germany to apply the LenSx® in the field of laser lens exchange and reached fantastic results. Now we offer LenSx® at many EuroEyes locations.
