Summary

The use of a femtosecond laser in cataract surgery that gives equivalent or improved results comapred to conventional phaco-emulsification surgery.

Detailed description

The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the LensAR laser system to surgically intervene within the crystalline lens. The primary goal of this initial study is to establish safety parameters as compared with conventional phacoemulsification procedures, and to evaluate the ability to provide an accurate and consistent anterior capsular opening (capsulotomy).
