Different Types of Laser Cataract Surgery


Many people want to know if they need "laser surgery" after undergoing cataract surgery. In fact, many people are actually confused about "laser surgery" and cataract surgery. In fact, modern cataract surgery performed in an eye clinic in Malaysia is usually does not involve lasers. Instead, a microscopic device (phacoemulsification probe) is used to break down and remove the turbid/cloudy lens from the patient's eye. After removing the cloudy lens, an artificial intraocular lens implant (IOL) was placed in the eye. However, in most cases, the laser does not participate in this process.
Laser cataract surgery may have some benefits after cataract surgery. The most common is the development of posterior capsular opacification (PCO), which can grow on the residual lens structure behind the IOL. This paralyzed PCO can partially block the light of the intraocular lens, obscure the patient's vision, and cause blurred blemishes or glare. PCO is actually the most common complication after routine cataract surgery. If it becomes large enough to limit the functional vision of the patient, it is usually treated with an instrument called an Nd: YAG laser.

This type of laser has existed for several decades and has been very accurate and successfully removed the PCO with slight discomfort and the shortest recovery time. The Nd: YAG laser can be very carefully aimed at the back of the intraocular lens to remove the PCO area and create a clear path for the passage of light. This procedure is usually less than five minutes.

From the patient's point of view, this is actually very simple. The doctor puts plastic "contact lenses" on your eyes to keep your eyes open and enable him to focus the laser beam. Then he carefully aimed the laser to cut a small, clear circular area on the PCO. Despite the bright light, the patient hardly felt anything. Nd: YAG laser cataract surgery has been very successful in restoring visual acuity to high levels.

Why Laser Cataract Surgery is a Better Option



In simple language, cataract is blurring of theimage.A Cataract is caused by the build-up of protein around the eyes Len’s. It is a common eye problem faced after the age of 50. Scientifically speaking a cataract is theformation of a thin cloud-like layer on the lens of the eye, due to which vision gets blurred and in some cases vision loss beyond repair or which cannot be corrected with the help of glasses.

It sounds frightening,isn't it? But with research in this field, doctors have come up with LASER CATARACT SURGERY which helps in restoring the lost vision as well as the dependency on contact lenses or glasses too.

Fortunately, the modern scientific advancement has made cataract surgery very easy. With the development of LASER CATARACT SURGERY, the success rate and effectiveness of cataract operations have increased.



It is estimated that every year around 2-3 million CATARACT SURGERIES are conducted in MALAYSIA.

Laser cataract surgery is also termed as laser-assisted cataract surgery. In common man'slanguage, a camera with an ultrasound imaging device is placed over the eye to gather the exact position and density of the cataract in the eye lens. The camera is connected to a computer which guides the doctor on where and how long the incision should be to remove the cataract, the rays from the device are also used to soften the protein layer incase its hard. The next step is to break the lens into thepiece and suck them out of the eye. Then an artificial lens referred as an intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted that performs the same action of the original eye lens.

Usually, no stitches are required in this process.The whole process takes around 20-30 minutes to complete. Compared to the traditional process, the recovery time is also very less, often vision is gained within few hours of the surgery.
