Today, we use the Catalase technique for cataract or lens removal. Using the most advanced technology and the unmatched experience of our ophthalmic surgeons, we perform cataract surgery in the most precise, safe and reliable way available in few ophthalmology centers in the world.

Catalase consists of making perfect laser incisions with the precise architecture with the proper angulation, minimal tissue trauma, self-sealing, and ultimately reducing the risk of intra-operative infection. Our femto-second laser then proceeds to perform a capsulorhexis (5 mm opening on the lens bag where the cataract is) to proceed with the fragmentation of the lens into multiple pieces to be aspirated through a probe. With Catalase this process becomes much safer since the risk of capsular rupture is significantly reduced, the centering of the intraocular lens is improved, achieving better visual results for our patients.

Surgery is generally indicated when the patient is not happy with the best corrected visual acuity obtained with eyeglasses or with the constant need for eyeglasses. As such, it is necessary that our ophthalmologists discuss with you all the different options available before deciding on the treatment options available.
