At Cookeville Eye Specialists, we’re committed to providing our patients with the most advanced eye care technologies available. One such innovation is the LensX laser system for cataract surgery.
This cutting-edge technology allows our cataract surgeons to offer patients a more precise and customized approach to cataract removal and lens replacement.
LensX is a state-of-the-art femtosecond laser system designed specifically for cataract surgery. It uses advanced imaging and laser technology to create a detailed, 3D map of your eye.
This map guides the laser as it makes precise incisions and breaks up the cloudy lens, all without the use of manual blades. The LensX system automates some of the most challenging steps of cataract surgery, allowing for a level of accuracy and consistency that surpasses traditional manual techniques.
It can create precise corneal incisions, open the lens capsule, and break up the cataract-clouded lens, all with computer-controlled laser precision.
There are many benefits to having cataract surgery with the advanced LensX laser, such as:
LensX gives your cataract surgeon the ability to make incredibly precise incisions in the eye during cataract surgery. This accuracy means they can better predict how your vision will improve after the procedure, potentially giving you clearer, sharper eyesight.
By letting the LensX laser handle some of the most delicate parts of the procedure, the need for manual techniques is reduced. This means less chance of human error, making an already safe procedure even safer for you.
Your eyes are as unique as you are. LensX creates a detailed 3D map of your eye, allowing your eye doctor to tailor the procedure specifically to you.
With LensX, cataract surgeons can achieve remarkably consistent outcomes from patient to patient. The laser’s computer guidance takes much of the variability out of the procedure, so you can expect high-quality results.
At Cookeville Eye Specialists, we believe that LensX represents a significant advancement in cataract surgery. While traditional cataract surgery remains a safe and effective option, LensX offers additional benefits that can lead to improved outcomes and patient satisfaction.
If you’re considering cataract surgery, ask your eye doctor whether LensX is right for you during your consultation with one of the experienced eye doctors at Cookeville Eye Specialists in Cookeville, TN!
If you have cataracts, choosing an intraocular lens (IOL) before the procedure is essential. Patients that want the best possible vision after cataract surgery may consider premium lenses, which can correct refractive errors, along with other vision conditions like presbyopia. At Cookeville Eye Specialists, we offer the following premium lenses:
The Vivity IOL is the first and only non-diffractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens. The premium IOL can treat presbyopia, which occurs when the eye’s natural lens loses flexibility due to aging.
When you have presbyopia, seeing things up close becomes more challenging. The Vivity IOL uses proprietary X WAVE technology to reduce glare while enhancing contrast sensitivity, which makes it easier to see in different lighting conditions, including when it’s very bright or if you’re somewhere dim or poorly lit.
Its extended depth of focus design creates a gradual transition between different focus zones. Patients experience better visual acuity while reducing their dependence on glasses and visual aids after cataract surgery.
The PanOptix trifocal IOL is a trifocal lens, allowing patients to see clearly up close, further away at a distance, and intermediate distances.
In addition to treating cataracts during cataract surgery, the PanOptix trifocal IOL treats refractive errors and presbyopia. The PanOptix lens uses ENLIGHTEN Optical technology that optimizes how much light can reach the retina.
By optimizing how much light reaches the retina, patients with the PanOptix trifocal lens have improved visual acuity and can reduce their dependence on visual aids. The PanOptix IOL uses a diffractive design to split light into several focal points to improve a patient’s ability to see well up close, far away, and distances in between.
A toric IOL is the only IOL specifically designed to correct astigmatism. Astigmatism is a refractive error that occurs when the cornea is an irregular shape, leading to distorted vision.
Toric lenses are a particular shape, compensating for the cornea’s irregular form, and help to eliminate astigmatism and improve a patient’s visual acuity. Other premium lenses like the PanOptix trifocal IOL and the Vivity IOL come in toric models and have different powers to suit patients’ needs.
