Femtosecond Laser-Assisted
Cataract Surgery (FLACS)

No-blade cataract surgery, also known as femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) uses a femtosecond laser (a powerful light beam) to assist in removing the cataract. FLACS uses a femtosecond laser to remove cataracts accurately and precisely, replacing the use of handmade incisions. The surgeon fashions a specific surgical plan with a 3-D image of the eye called optical coherence tomography (OCT). Ara Damansara Medical Centre prides itself with this innovative procedure used for cataract removal has been successfully performed for the past few years. With the specifications for location, depth, and length in all planes, the femtosecond laser can perform the cataract removal with micro-level precision.
