Custom Cataract Surgery in Annapolis Using the LenSx® Laser

September 1, 2015 by Anne Arundel Eye Center

Over the years, our eyes age right along with the rest of our body, resulting in the clouding of the eye’s natural lens – Cataracts. By the age of 80, more than half of all Americans will develop a cataract, but don’t worry. Cataracts are very treatable. In fact, cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgery in the country and has the highest success rate of any surgery practiced today.

If your cataract begins to affect your quality of life, inhibiting you from performing normal daily tasks, such as driving, reading, or watching TV, cataract surgery may be your best treatment option. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a crystal clear lens implant, called an intraocular lens (IOL).

The LenSx® Laser: A Cataract Surgery Even Goldilocks Would Approve

You all know the story. Goldilocks wanders into the home of Three Bears and begins to treat the place like her own. First she tries their porridge, but she’s picky. The first is too hot, the second is too cold, but the third is just right. Then she moves on to the chairs, with similar results, and then the beds. That Goldilocks sure was picky. But we are positive even she would love the LenSx® Laser. It’s the most technologically advanced option for cataract patients today, allowing your ophthalmologist to create a cataract surgery that’s 100% unique to you. It’s just right.

First, the LenSx® Laser captures precise, hi-res images of your eye and plots a surgery that is unique to you. Next, a bladeless, computer-controlled femtosecond laser helps the surgeon perform your surgery with exacting, individualized precision not possible with traditional cataract surgery methods.

A femtosecond laser is one that emits pulses with durations between a few femtoseconds and hundreds of femtoseconds.

LenSx Laser Surgery for Cataract Treatment in Annapolis

May 30, 2014 by Anne Arundel Eye Center

As we age, our eyes undergo normal aging, resulting in the clouding of the eye’s natural lens. This is what we are talking about when we say cataracts. It is a normal part of the aging process. By age 80 more than half of all Americans will either have a cataract or have undergone cataract treatment.

“We should all be so lucky to develop cataracts in our lifetime, as this would mean we have lived a long and healthy life,” explains board certified ophthalmologist Dr. Samuel Boles, Medical Director of the Anne Arundel Eye Center in Annapolis, Maryland.

Don’t worry; cataracts are very treatable. In fact, cataract surgery has the highest success rate of any surgery practiced today.

Cataract Treatment: Is Surgery My Best Option?

If your cataract begins to affect your quality of life, inhibiting you from performing normal daily tasks, such as driving, reading, or watching TV, cataract surgery is usually your best treatment option. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a crystal clear lens implant, called an intraocular lens (IOL).

Cataract surgery can either be done the traditional way, by hand, or with the assistance of laser technology.

The LenSx® Laser was the first femtosecond laser system to receive FDA approvals for use in cataract surgery.

Now that the technology is ready for prime time, Dr. Boles says, “The LenSx Laser offers significant improvement of precision, safety, and accuracy for even better results and I recommend this as an option for all of my patients.”

The LenSx® Laser starts by capturing precise, hi-res images of your eye and mapping a cataract surgery that’s 100% unique to you. The computer-controlled femtosecond laser then helps the eye doctor perform the surgery with exacting precision not attainable through traditional surgery. The LenSx® Laser is especially good at addressing astigmatism for even more predictable results.
