Key Takeaways Femto (bladeless) cataract surgery uses a femtosecond laser to make the tiny cuts, the round lens opening, and to pre-soften the cataract before the usual removal and lens implant. How does it work? 3D eye mapping → laser
Key Takeaways: Early surgical intervention preserves independence and prevents avoidable lifestyle limitations. Modern cataract surgery prioritises precision, safety, and faster visual rehabilitation. Lens selection significantly influences long-term visual comfort and spectacle dependence.
