Many patients assume that cataract surgery is already undertaken using a laser. This is entirely understandable as patients are aware of the ultra-precision offered by surgical techniques using a laser. This has not been the case until now. Laser Cataract Surgery, and Laser Clear Lens Surgery, are finally a reality.

At Mr Leatherbarrow’s ambulatory surgical clinic, Face & Eye in South Manchester, we are amongst the first ophthalmic surgeons in the UK, as well as the rest of the world, to be able to offer the most advanced form of cataract surgery, or clear lens replacement surgery (for the management of optical errors which are not suitable for standard corneal laser correction). Laser Cataract Surgery offers safer, quicker and improved outcomes by eliminating the potential for human error in performing delicate parts of the procedure that may lead to complications and loss of optimum visual function.

The Crystalens HD is the fourth generation of the only FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved accommodating lens and offers improvement in near vision for many patients, as well as the distance vision achieved by standard lenses. The first generation Crystalens accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) was approved by the FDA in November 2003

Our patients have clearly indicated a preference for a high definition experience in vision correction and a truly accommodating IOL helps achieve that goal. The Crystalens HD will help many of our patients experience truly good near vision without compromising on the quality of vision at intermediate or distance.
