A Safer, Robotic, and More Precise Way to Restore Vision
At Shekar Eye Hospital, we are excited to announce the arrival of Robotic Cataract Surgery using the LenSx® Laser System —a state-of-the-art advancement in eye care technology. This innovation brings a higher level of safety, accuracy, and comfort to cataract surgery, redefining what patients can expect from their treatment.
If you or a loved one has been advised to undergo cataract surgery, here’s why you should consider the LenSx® Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) — now available at Shekar Eye Hospital.
What is Robotic Cataract Surgery?
Robotic cataract surgery refers to cataract removal procedures performed with the assistance of computer-guided laser systems. The LenSx® Laser System, developed by Alcon, is one of the most trusted and widely used technologies in this space.
Unlike traditional cataract surgery, where the surgeon makes manual cuts using blades, LenSx® performs robotic, laser-precise incisions guided by advanced imaging. This leads to better outcomes, quicker healing, and greater consistency from case to case.
Say Goodbye to Blades: Cataract Surgery Is Now Robotic
One of the most important features of the LenSx® system is that it eliminates the need for a surgical blade.
- Robotic incisions reduce the risk of infection and human error.
- The laser creates extremely precise and self-sealing cuts that are more consistent in shape and depth.
- The entire procedure becomes gentler and more comfortable for the patient.
- This means that your cataract surgery is not only safer but also more efficient and predictable.
Why Choose the LenSx® Laser System?
Proven Outcomes. Proven Safety. Proven Precision.
The LenSx® system is not just a fancy tool — it’s a clinically proven, FDA-approved technology with thousands of successful procedures worldwide. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Reproducibility and accuracy at every step: From the corneal incision to the lens capsule opening, everything is calculated and executed with micrometre precision.
- Improved surgical outcomes: With less room for human error, the chances of complications are lower, and patients enjoy faster recovery and better vision quality.
- Complete refractive experience: The system can also correct certain types of refractive errors, giving patients clearer vision even without glasses post-surgery.
At Shekar Eye Hospital, we are proud to bring tomorrow’s technology to you, today.
How LenSx® Improves Cataract Surgery
Compared to traditional manual procedures, LenSx® offers significant advantages:
1. More Precise and Consistent Capsulotomies
Capsulotomy is a critical step in cataract surgery where a small opening is made in the lens capsule. The laser ensures this is perfectly round and centred — something very difficult to achieve manually. This consistency leads to better lens placement and more predictable outcomes.
2. Better Cataract Incisions
The LenSx system creates self-sealing incisions that are more efficient, less traumatic to the eye tissue, and more stable in terms of geometry and size.
3. Stable Vision Post-Surgery
The laser minimizes variability in anterior chamber depth, which leads to more stable refraction after surgery — meaning patients experience better and more consistent vision long-term.
Who Can Benefit From Robotic Cataract Surgery?
Most patients who are eligible for standard cataract surgery can also opt for LenSx®-assisted surgery. It is especially beneficial for:
- People seeking a safer and more comfortable surgical experience
- Patients with high visual expectations post-surgery
- Those who want to reduce dependence on glasses after cataract removal
- Patients looking for quicker healing and fewer complications
Our eye care specialists will perform detailed evaluations to ensure this technology is the right choice for your eyes.
Important Information You Should Know
While LenSx® is an advanced and safe technology, it is not suitable for everyone. Some conditions may restrict its use:
- Corneal diseases that affect laser penetration
- Very small pupils that don’t dilate well
- Blood or debris in the anterior chamber
- Previous eye surgeries that may interfere with laser application
- Corneal implants or abnormal thickness
- Severe glaucoma (though certain types can still be treated using LenSx® with special accessories)
- This system is not intended for children (paediatric use)
- A thorough pre-surgical screening will help identify any such conditions.
Note: As per Federal Law in the U.S., this device is for use only by licensed eye care professionals.
