Laser Cataract Surgery

In 2012, Dr. Jeff Wong became one of the first surgeons in Hawaii to perform FDA-approved CATALYS Laser Cataract Surgery. This is a revolutionary technology that provides a gentle, highly customized cataract procedure with precision not achievable with traditional manual techniques.

What is CATALYS?

CATALYS is an FDA-approved state-of-the-art laser with advanced 3D imaging, that has taken cataract surgery to the next level. With unparalleled precision, it creates incisions without damaging the healthy surrounding tissue. Laser surgery is gentler than manual cataract surgery and results in a less-invasive, safer cataract procedure.

How does it work and what are the steps?

Every eye has a unique size and shape. CATALYS’ advanced 3D imaging technology builds a 3D map of each eye and tailors the treatment to that map. This enables Dr. Wong to create a customized treatment plan that matches the uniqueness of each eye.

Next, Dr. Wong uses CATALYS to create a circular opening for accessing and removing the cataract. Clinical studies have shown that this opening is approximately 10 times more accurate when performed with CATALYS than what is achievable by hand.1,2 CATALYS then softens and breaks up the hard cataract into tiny pieces, allowing for gentler, easier cataract removal.3

Depending on the patient’s pre-operative vision and desired visual result, Dr. Wong may recommend a tailored treatment plan that could include creating ultra-precise laser incisions in the cornea and a specific clear lens type, such as a multi-focal lens. This tailored treatment may reduce a patient’s need for glasses or contacts after surgery.

What are the benefits of CATALYS?

  • A highly customized procedure using advanced 3D imaging
  • A treatment with little or no discomfort
  • A more precise treatment
  • A gentler and easier cataract removal
  • Generally, a more rapid visual recovery due to reduced inflammation
  • The opportunity to receive tailored treatment with advanced technology multi-focal lenses, which may reduce the need for glasses or contacts after surgery

CATARACT SURGERY WITH TORIC INTRAOCULAR LENS

“Dr. Jeffrey Wong performed cataract surgery on my left eye in 2011, using a special toric intraocular lens which corrected all of my astigmatism in that eye. Without glasses, my left eye can see 20/20, unaided! The entire experience of having cataract surgery with Dr. Wong, from the first consultation to the post operative follow up exam was one I wholeheartedly recommend as everything was first class!”
