Using Catalase we can remove a cataract utilizing the most modern technology and the unparalled experience of our ophthalmologists achieving more precise, safe and reproducible results. Catalase — or Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery as it is known in the USA — is available only in the most advanced ophthalmology centers around the world.

Catalase utilizes a femtosecond laser to create corneal incisions with the perfect wound architecture with the correction angulation to ensure a self-sealing incision, less trauma to corneal tissue without the need for metallic blades and decreased risk of infection. The femtosecond laser then proceeds to create a capsulorhexis opening (a 5 mm aperture to open the capsular bag where the cataract lies so that it can be removed). Then, the laser makes laser cuts in the cataract to fragment it into several pieces allowing it to be aspirated through a handpiece. Utilizing Catalase makes this procedure safer with less risk of capsular tearing and subsequent vitreous prolapse, retinal inflammation, among other possible complications. Visual results tend be better with more exact intraocular lens centration.

• The risk of postoperative astigmatism and extreme fluctuations in intraocular pressure are minimized with Catalase.

• Patients do not need to suspend their everyday activities because visual rehabilitation is extremely fast.
