What Is FLACS With Mono IOL?
FLACS With Monofocal IOL is a modern cataract surgery technique that combines femtosecond laser technology with a monofocal intraocular lens implant. The femtosecond laser allows the doctor at our affiliated hospital to perform corneal incisions, soften and fragment the cloudy lens, and create a perfectly shaped capsulotomy. This advanced approach reduces the need for traditional ultrasound energy, minimizing trauma to the eye and providing a stable foundation for the lens implant. The monofocal IOL restores clear vision at a single distance, most commonly for far vision, while maintaining alignment and long-term stability within the lens capsule.
The combination of FLACS and Monofocal IOL offers several benefits; enhanced precision ensures accurate placement of the lens, reducing the likelihood of complications and promoting predictable visual outcomes. Reduced energy during lens removal helps the eye heal faster. Overall, FLACS With Monofocal IOL provides safe, reliable, and high-quality vision restoration with minimal disruption to eye health.
How It Works
FLACS With Monofocal IOL begins with a consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital. During this session, the doctor evaluates overall eye health, measures the length of the eye, checks the corneal curvature, and determines the correct lens power.
The procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes per eye. The femtosecond laser performs highly precise steps, including corneal incisions, fragmentation of the cloudy lens, and creation of a perfectly centered capsulotomy. These automated steps reduce the need for ultrasound energy, causing less trauma to the eye and supporting faster healing. After the lens is prepared, the doctor removes the softened lens material and implants the monofocal IOL into the capsule.
The laser’s precision ensures accurate lens placement and long-term stability, which is especially important in complex eyes or when future upgrades to advanced lenses are considered. Most patients experience improved vision within 1 week, though complete healing may take 4 to 6 weeks. Light daily activities can typically be resumed shortly after surgery, while more strenuous tasks are postponed until the eye fully recovers.

FAQ
Q1: How does FLACS With Monofocal IOL improve vision?
A1: FLACS With Monofocal IOL improves vision by precisely removing the cataract and accurately placing the monofocal lens, providing clear distance vision.
Q2: How soon will vision improve after FLACS With Monofocal IOL?
A2: Vision improvement after FLACS With Monofocal IOL is noticeable within 7 days, with full stabilization in 4 to 6 weeks.
Q3: Can FLACS With Monofocal IOL be done on both eyes at once?
A3: It is recommended to perform FLACS With Monofocal IOL on 1 eye at a time to allow proper healing and monitoring.
Q4: Is FLACS With Monofocal IOL better than traditional cataract surgery?
A4: Yes, FLACS With Monofocal IOL provides greater precision and lens stability compared to traditional cataract surgery.
Q5: Can FLACS With Monofocal IOL prevent lens dislocation?
A5: Yes, FLACS With Monofocal IOL creates a precise capsulotomy, which helps maintain lens stability and reduces the risk of dislocation.
