Femtosecond-Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) is a bladeless, advanced cataract surgery that uses a computer-guided laser to remove the cataract and replace it with an intraocular lens (IOL).
1. A computer-guided laser is used to make precise incisions in the cornea
2. The laser can also soften the cataract so it can be broken into pieces and removed
3. The IOL is then placed in the eye
1. FLACS is safer and more reliable than traditional cataract surgery
2. It reduces the risk of infection and inflammation
3. It can lead to faster healing and improved vision
1. Vision may be blurry at first, but it often improves within a few days
2. You may experience itching and mild discomfort for a couple of days
3. Your doctor may recommend an eye patch or protective shield
4. You may be prescribed eyedrops or other medications
