Femto Cataract

Femto Cataract Surgery in Abu Dhabi

Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed procedure worldwide, primarily due to cataracts being a natural part of the aging process. Since the 1990s, the gold standard has been phacoemulsification, where an ultrasound probe breaks down and emulsifies the cataract, allowing it to be suctioned through a small incision. Now, a revolutionary advancement is transforming cataract surgery: Femto Cataract Surgery. This cutting-edge technology is rapidly replacing traditional phacoemulsification, offering similar results with faster recovery times and enhanced precision.

How Femto Cataract Surgery Works

Unlike conventional phacoemulsification, where the initial steps are performed manually, FemtoLaser technology automates three critical steps:
  • Wound creation – A laser precisely makes the incision.
  • Lens capsule opening – The laser ensures a perfectly circular opening.
  • Lens fragmentation – The laser breaks the lens into small pieces before extraction.
Once these steps are complete, the emulsified lens is suctioned out, similar to traditional phacoemulsification.

  • Quicker procedures – Laser technology speeds up the initial steps.
  • Reduced time inside the eye – Lens fragmentation occurs before the incision, minimizing exposure.
  • Faster healing – A more precise incision promotes quicker recovery.
  • Lower complication rates – The laser’s precision reduces the risk of irregular wounds and vitreous loss.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions, Answered Clearly and Simply

How long does a qualification examination take?

Our complete examination take around two hours. It is a series of specialized tests by which we determine your prescription, the thickness of the cornea, etc. Based on this examination your doctor will suggest the best method of correction. Since the examination may involve the application of pupil-dilating eye drops, you are advised not to drive a vehicle and have someone accompany you to drive you home.

Can I drive after the procedure?

You want to refrain from driving until your doctor tells you your vision is stable and it is safe to do so.

Why should I stop using lenses before my eye exam?

If you are wearing lenses, the measurements can be misleading. Contact lenses can alter the condition and shape of your cornea. It is advisable to stop using lenses at least 2 weeks before your exam.

What is the maximum age limit for laser vision correction procedures?

There is no such limit. It is agreed that a patient should be in generally good health (e.g. no diabetes, allergies, etc.) After your consultation, your doctor will advise you on possible treatments based on your situation.
