Why is LRCS considered the best option for cataract removal?
Cataracts are one of the most common eye diseases in the world. Millions of people have their eyesight affected, sometimes losing it completely, especially those past the age of 40. The best way to counter cataracts is to detect them (as early as possible) and remove them via surgery.
The latest development in cataract surgeries is Laser-Refractive Cataract Surgery (LRCS). LRCS a method of removing cataracts using a laser. LRCS, unlike regular cataract removal, doesn’t involve any needles or blades and has proven super-efficient in cataract removal with unmatched accuracy and precision.
What makes LRCS highly efficient?
The robotic computer-based online assessment of the patient’s eye during surgery gives the surgeons deeper understanding of the affected eye. With the help of a laser, the surgeon makes an incision and an opening into the lens capsule. They then use the laser to break the cataract as well. After breaking the cataract, the surgeons remove it from the eye and an intraocular lens will be placed. The precision ensured by the robotic assessment and accurately targeted laser makes this method the best option to remove cataracts.
The risk factor is close to zero since there are no blades or needles involved in the surgery.
Why should you go for LRCS over regular cataract surgery?
When we compare the outcome of both methods, there are significant differences. The LRCS method proves to be the best option for cataract removal. This less-manual, more-automated method is seamless on your eye and promises better tissue preservation and recovery.
The absence of surgical tools like blades or needles touching your eye tissues makes this method relatively more comfortable for you. It also means there will be less contact with the tissue and hence less risk of developing post-surgical complications. The laser energy cuts and incisions are super-precise and take very little time.
On the other hand, in the case of regular cataract surgery, it is all manual. From cuts to closing, there are several surgical tools involved in this procedure. It is more demanding of the surgeon’s skills and is prone to human mistakes.
Advantages of LRCS
Disadvantages of regular cataract surgery
LRCS is the future and helps in a comfortable treatment with faster recovery and higher precision.
Why go for the regular (old) methods when the future is here? You deserve a painless, comfortable, and fast recovery from cataracts, and LRCS at Lotus is your best option to make it possible.
