Cataract > Laser cataract surgery

Breakthrough technology

It’s not often you can announce a development that is truly game changing. But that’s what has happened with laser cataract surgery. The same technology that ophthalmologists have used to perform over 3 million LASIK vision correction procedures worldwide can now be used during cataract and lens replacement surgery.

What is laser cataract surgery?

This revolutionary breakthrough brings high levels of predictability and control into the surgeon’s hands. In simple terms, Laser Cataract Surgery allows laser technology (known as femtosecond laser) to perform significant parts of cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery. The high level of precision that this new technology introduces to the procedure.

Currently the most productive laser cataract clinic in the world

Leading the way – again – is Vision Eye Institute, first with laser cataract surgery in Australia (and the Southern Hemisphere). With over 1000 cataract and refractive lens exchange procedures currently being performed using laser technology, our Sydney surgeons are the most productive in the world.
