WHAT ARE ITS SYMPTOMS? "Washed out" colour vision Glare and halos at night Low contrast sensitivity Cloudy vision Blurred or double images Poor vision in low light DO YOU HAVE EARLY CATARACT? WATCH OUT FOR THESE SYMPTOMS
WHAT CAUSES CATARACT? Age related: The lens proteins degenerate and form opacities in the lens. Cataract can occur at an early age in many conditions like: congenital or hereditary Systemic diseases like diabetes Medicines like steroids Eye injury: trauma, radiation etc. Eye diseases like uveitis

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR CATARACT SURGERY? 1. CATARACT WITH PHACOEMULSIFICATION 2. FEMTOSECOND BLADE- FREE LASER CATARCAT SURGERY MODULE
COMPARISON BETWEEN Standard Cataract Surgery Surgeon uses a blade to manually make the corneal incision. Surgeon manually makes an opening in the front of the lens (capsulorhexis). Surgeon uses an ultrasonic instrument to break apart the cataract into smaller pieces. surgeon removes the cataract with an ultrasonic probe and suction. Surgeon inserts a new lens through the same microincision. Laser cataract surgery The LenSx laser makes the corneal incision. The LenSx makes an opening in the front of the lens (capsulorhexis). The LenSx laser breaks apart the cataract into smaller pieces. Surgeon removes the cataract with an ultrasonic probe and suction. Surgeon inserts a new lens through the same microncision.

BLADELESS SURGERY No Knife and blade used as in routine Phaco Surgery Fully automated incision (cuts) done M E R I T 1
CUSTOMIZED APPROACH Your eyes are unique hence get a unique and customized treatment. Comprised of computer controlled Laser guided cataract surgery. The advantage of a tailor made fit is here for you. Patient Benefits of the Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery Versus Traditional Cataract Surgery Are: Astigmatism correction can be done at the time of Bladeless Cataract Surgery using this laser as opposed to a manual incision using a surgical blade with traditional surgery. Astigmatism requires patients to wear glasses after cataract surgery. Correcting this at the time of cataract surgery lessens the need for glasses subsequently. M E R I T 2
HIGHER DEGREE OF PRECISION Laser assisted surgery leading to predictable results Superior visual outcome M E R I T Patient Benefits of the Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery Versus Traditional Cataract Surgery Are: Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery pre-softens the cataract, minimizing the use of ultrasound energy to remove the cataract lens. Decreased usage of ultrasound energy reduces the chances of thermal injury to tissues inside the eye, which lessens recovery time. 3
