  1. How Does Cataract Eye Laser Surgery OKC Work? Cataract surgery is a procedure that involves removing a cataract through a micro-incision to replace it with a clear Intraocular Lens (IOL). The advancement of this procedure is cataract eye laser surgery OKC, or “laser-assisted cataract surgery.” For this, your surgeon will utilize highly specialized laser technology during the treatment. What Does Traditional Cataract Surgery Involve? For non-laser-assisted surgery, your surgeon will use a small blade to create a micro-incision. The cataract is then dissolved before it is removed using ultrasound technology. The surgeon then places an IOL through the incision, which your eye will naturally heal without stitches. How Cataract Eye Laser Surgery OKC Works When you think of lasers in regard to eye care, the first thing to come to mind is likely LASIK eye surgery Oklahoma. However, there are various types of laser treatments that can improve your vision! When it comes to cataract surgery, laser technology helps surgeons customize the procedure to each patient, leading to the best possible surgical outcomes. For laser-assisted cataract surgery, a camera or ultrasound device is used to map the surface of your eyes; those results are used to program the laser. When it is time for the procedure to begin, the laser will use that data to make the incisions at the ideal location, size, and depth. In addition to making the micro-incisions, the laser may also soften the cataract before it is broken down and removed. This allows your surgeon to remove it with more ease and can decrease the use of ultrasound technology during the procedure. As with traditional cataract surgery, the surgeon will then put in the IOL so the eye can naturally heal around it.
