\"LenSx<\/a>The LenSx\u00ae<\/sup> laser<\/a> provides cataract patients with an optimized refractive cataract surgery experience. Typically, cataract surgeries are\u00a0performed manually where the surgeon uses a blade to create all of the incisions during the procedure. With the introduction of the first FDA cleared custom cataract laser, the LenSx\u00ae<\/sup> femtosecond cataract laser, the cataract surgeons at SNEAD EYE GROUP have the ability to create incisions and reduce astigmatism with a laser. The incisions are more accurate and precise, thus eliminating some of the variables that have complicated cataract surgery results in the past. Recent results show that the laser is up to 10x more precise than manual techniques for portions of the cataract surgery. By exhibiting a high level of accuracy and precision, outcome of cataract surgery with LenSx is more predictable. Studies have shown that with cataract surgery using the LenSx\u00ae\u00a0 \"lensx<\/a>femtosecond cataract laser at SNEAD EYE GROUP, patients have a better chance of\u00a0seeing 20\/20 or better vs. manual blade incisions.<\/p>\n

During your procedure the LenSx\u00ae<\/sup> femtosecond cataract laser has many advantages\u00a0. Prior to cataract surgery, SNEAD EYE GROUP\u00a0performs a number of tests as well as\u00a0take measurements to plan your cataract surgery. While measurements are taken\u00a0before your\u00a0procedure, the LenSx\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Cataract Laser uses\u00a0a range of highly advanced technologies including integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) to capture precise, accurate, high-resolution images of your eyes. With the data collected from\u00a0hese images \u2013 and measurements a plan can be created\u00a0for your cataract\u00a0surgery that had not been possible\u00a0with traditional technology.<\/p>\n

In the past the only method of\u00a0cataract surgery involved removing the cataract through\u00a0a small incision in the cornea. An intraocular lens implant (IOL) is applied to replace the\u00a0natural lens allowing\u00a0light to clearly focus on the retina, creating a vast improvement to\u00a0your eyesight. Typically cataract surgery lasts\u00a0about 10 minutes or less.\u00a0Cataract surgery\u00a0is generally performed under local eyedrop anesthesia. The\u00a0\u00a0cataract surgeons at Snead Eye Group will optimize your surgery plan and lens options to fit your lifestyle needs. Cataract surgery with\u00a0Multifocal IOLs can \u0003provide a full range of vision from near, to \u0003intermediate to distance.. Monofocal Toric IOLs correct higher levels of astigmatism. \u00a0These monofocal IOLs usually provide \u0003excellent distance vision for patients with pre-existing \u0003astigmatism.<\/p>\n

Standard Monofocal IOLs \u0003Can provide clear distance vision for patients without pre-existing astigmatism.<\/p>\n

Snead Eye Group advises that cataract surgery patients arrange for someone to escort\u00a0them home after the surgery. The\u00a0cataract surgeons at Snead Eye Group\u00a0will provide\u00a0eye medication to help\u00a0expedite\u00a0the healing process. Patients\u00a0should notice an improvement in vision shortly\u00a0after surgery.<\/p>\n

There are a few\u00a0potential\u00a0risks\u00a0and complications with cataract surgery, like\u00a0any other surgical procedure. The cataract surgeons at Snead Eye Group\u00a0are highly experienced and take every possible\u00a0precaution to eliminate\u00a0risks.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2000","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2000\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
