The Laser Cataract Procedure

Once the patient is docked and settings have been confirmed, Dr. Chu depresses the foot pedal to initiate the laser procedure:

Capsulotomy
A perfectly sized and centered capsulotomy is formed.

Lens Fragmentation
The lens is fragmented into the desired pattern.

Primary and Secondary Incisions
Primary and secondary incisions are created.

Arcuate Incisions
If arcuate incisions have been selected to correct astigmatism, these are created during this step.
