AI Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery (FLACS) using the Catalys Precision Laser System represents the most advanced, technology-driven form of cataract surgery. It combines artificial intelligence, robotic precision, and 3D imaging to perform key surgical steps — including corneal incisions, anterior capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation — with micron-level accuracy and consistency.
The AI-powered system assists the surgeon in mapping, guiding, and executing each step, ensuring personalized, safe, and predictable outcomes. This bladeless and painless approach delivers faster recovery and exceptional visual results, especially when combined with premium intraocular lenses (IOLs).
| Lens Type | Description |
|---|
| Lens Type | Description |
|---|
| Monofocal IOL | Provides clear vision at a single distance, typically far. Glasses may still be required for reading or computer use. |
| EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) | Offers sharp vision across near, intermediate, and distance ranges. Reduces dependence on glasses and minimizes halos or glare. |
| Multifocal IOL | Delivers clear vision for far, near, and intermediate distances without glasses. Some patients may experience mild halos or glare. |
| Toric IOL (for Astigmatism) | Specifically designed to correct astigmatism. Available in monofocal, multifocal, and EDOF variants for customized correction. |
| Feature | Regular Cataract Surgery |
|---|---|
| How the cut is made | Done manually with a surgical blade |
| Lens opening | Created by hand during surgery |
| Lens removal | Lens is broken and removed manually |
| Precision | Depends on surgeon’s skill |
| Comfort | May cause minor discomfort |
| Recovery | Clear vision in a few days |
No, the procedure is performed under topical anesthesia and is completely painless.
The entire process takes around 10–15 minutes per eye.
Most patients return to daily routines within 1–2 days after surgery.
It’s especially recommended for patients selecting premium IOLs or those with complex cataracts.
Depending on the IOL chosen, many patients achieve spectacle-free vision for most tasks.
The AI system ensures higher precision, safety, and consistent outcomes compared to manual procedures.
