Cataract surgeries are becoming safer, with various hospitals adopting the latest technology. This adoption has transformed robotic laser cataract surgery into an advanced procedure. 

Let us now talk about their latest advancement, Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery, which adopts a more nuanced approach in conducting surgery. 

What is Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery?

In robotic laser cataract surgery, surgeons make a customized surgical plan with the help of an Image-Guided System using advanced and latest imaging technology, and Prasad Netralaya is excellent at using this technology.

The surgery uses advanced and latest lasers and robotics for lens softening, precise incisions, and gentle removal, allowing precise placement of an artificial lens for better surgical results.

Robotic laser cataract surgery has various benefits, and it uses advanced technology. Let’s look at them.

Benefits of Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery at Prasad Netralaya

Here are some key benefits of robotic laser cataract surgery at Prasad Netralaya:

1. Faster Recovery

Guess what! You’ll experience a quicker recovery with advanced robotic laser cataract surgery. Patients can consider cataract surgery if they’re looking for a faster and more comfortable recovery with great work precision. 

2. Shorter Surgery Time

You need not spend long hours in the operating room because cataract surgery does not take much time to operate on the patient.

3. Customized Treatment

Patients have the flexibility to choose from advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs) according to their lifestyle and requirements, which ensures great vision for a longer time. 

4. No Stitches Required

The incisions made during robotic laser cataract surgery are small; they usually tend to heal on their own following a faster process, which removes the need for stitches.

5. Less Invasive

This technique includes smaller incisions and is less likely to have complications, leading to an individual’s faster recovery than the other outdated techniques.

6. Improved Precision

The robotic system used for cataract surgery can perform precise surgery with the help of advanced techniques. This will improve the potential outcomes and reduce the need to wear contact lenses or glasses after successful surgery.

Now, let’s move on to the next section and see how surgeons perform cataract surgery.

What to Expect Before the Procedure?

Here are the things that you need to expect before the surgeon performs the robotic laser cataract surgery:

1. Complete Eye Examination 

An Ophthalmologist will conduct a complete examination to identify the severity of the cataract and to check whether you’re ready for the surgery. The process involves various tests to measure pupil dilation, eye pressure and a detailed assessment of the internal structure of your eyes

2. Managing Underlying Health Conditions 

If you have other health conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, your Ophthalmologist may need to check this beforehand to ensure that they are well-managed before performing the surgery. This ensures that your health is stable before you undergo the surgery.

3. Consultation and Scheduling 

After examining the health conditions, you’ll meet with your ophthalmologist for a surgical planning discussion, including what type of intraocular lens (IOL) you need to implant in order to proceed with surgery scheduling.

4. Pre-Surgical Preparations 

An Ophthalmologist should always consider Pre-surgical preparations before starting the surgery. Preparation should include:

• Medications: The doctor may prescribe certain eye drops before surgery to prevent infection and decrease inflammation. Pay attention to these prescriptions.
• Personal care: On the day of the surgery, wash your hands with soap and avoid using lotions, makeup, and perfumes. 

What to Expect During the Procedure?

Here’s a look into the step-by-step guide on how the surgeons perform the robotic laser cataract surgery on patients:

Step#1. Do the Right Preparation 

Before starting the surgery, the eye(s) of the patient is numbed with anesthesia for comfort. Patients may get moderate sedation (a drug to make a patient fall asleep) when the surgeon conducts the surgery. 

Step#2. Initial Steps

To reach the lens, the surgeon makes a small cut in the cornea ( the front white part of the eye). 

Step#3. Capsulotomy

Advanced imaging makes it easy and possible for the robotic laser to create a clear circular opening in the lens capsule (a thin, transparent membrane surrounding the natural lens). 

Step#4. Lens Fragmentation

The laser, controlled by a computer system, softens the cataract and breaks it into small pieces, reducing the ultrasound energy requirement during the whole surgery, which can cause harm to the eye (sometimes). 

Step#5. Cataract Removal

After lens fragmentation, the broken cataract pieces are sucked out via a small incision made at the start of the surgery.

Step#6. IOL Placement

An intraocular lens (IOL) is then selected based on a patient’s specific vision requirements and measurements and kept in the space lens capsule. This lens replicates the natural lens by replacing it permanently. 

Step#7. Final Adjustments

Here, the IOL is carefully positioned within the eye to optimize vision correction fully.

Step#8. Closure

Lastly, the small corneal incision heals without any need for stitches.
