SUBMITTED NEWS RELEASE
Cataract surgery is one of the most widely performed eye surgeries in the world, and recently, Eye Care Professionals in Reno became the first practice in the state to offer Precision Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery. The new LenSx® Laser is today’s most advanced eye care technology which allows surgeons to more precisely perform cataract procedures and improve visual outcomes.
“We are very excited to bring this new technology to northern Nevada as it allows us to enhance patient care standards,” said Matthew B. Mills, M.D., board certified eye physician and surgeon. “The LenSx® laser is more precise and more reliable compared to standard treatment options and provides more opportunities to perform the most accurate vision correction surgeries possible.”
The LenSx® Laser is computer-controlled and has the ability to customize a procedure to a patient’s ocular anatomy and improve critical steps performed during refractive cataract surgery. Because a patient’s eye shape and size vary, the laser has a real-time, high-definition scanning system that takes measurements of the eye and maps where incisions are to be made. Additionally, the laser minimizes surgical risks and expedites recovery as it facilitates the removal of damaged cataract lenses by breaking them into smaller fragments.
There are several benefits to utilizing LenSx® Laser eye surgery compared to traditional methods. This includes the ability to compensate for movements made by the patient during surgery; the release of less energy inside the eye during cataract removal thus protecting cells within the eyes from heat and energy damage; reduced surgical time; improved accuracy and safer, all of which lead to more consistent outcomes.
“As ophthalmologists, we understand how important it is for our patient’s to achieve clear vision and we are committed to utilizing the most advanced technology available to achieve this,” said Dr. Mills.
