Precision: LenSx^® uses the same technology for cataracts that has been used in LASIK surgery to create the highest level of precision available with a cool laser instead of a sharp blade.

Safety: LenSx^® increases safety and potentially minimizes risk by providing a faster and less invasive procedure with more control.

Control: LenSx^® offers real time images to guide the surgeon for proper alignment.  Images of the eye are projected onto a video screen giving the surgeon real-time visual images during the surgery.

Some degree of irritation may be evident for a few hours after surgery.

Some redness will be noted on the eye from the LenSx procedure. This is normal and painless and will go away in a week or so. Any discomfort, if present, usually settles with Panadol.

Generally, patients should expect greatly improved vision with freedom from having to wear corrective eyewear such as glasses or contact lenses for distance and reading.

With upgraded premium multifocal lens implants, the cloudy natural lens of the eye is replaced with an artificial lens that can better focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye.

Most importantly, cataract surgery is designed to completely remove the problem of vision change, stopping the progression of vision loss and resulting in the ability to see more clearly at distance and near.

Around 5 – 10 minutes on average depending on the complexity of the procedure.

Currently LenSx^® is considered a premium procedure not covered by Medicare, or other health insurance companies.  Interest free financing is available.
