Femto-Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) integrates state-of-the-art femtosecond laser technology with standard phacoemulsification. The laser performs key surgical steps — corneal incisions, capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation — with micron-level precision, potentially improving visual outcomes and safety.
The femtosecond laser creates precise corneal incisions, a perfectly circular capsulotomy (opening in the lens capsule), and pre-fragments the cataract. These steps, traditionally performed manually, achieve greater accuracy and reproducibility with laser guidance.
FLACS offers enhanced precision in capsulotomy creation, reduced ultrasound energy needed to remove the cataract, more accurate incision architecture, and potentially better IOL centration. It is particularly beneficial for premium lens implants.
FLACS is suitable for most cataract patients but is especially recommended for those choosing premium IOLs (multifocal, toric), patients with dense cataracts, and those who desire the most technologically advanced option available.
