FLACS With Mono Toric IOL (Improve Clear Distance Vision)

· Those in Bangkok seeking precise cataract treatment with reduced dependence on glasses.
· Those with moderate to high corneal astigmatism.
· Those with mild presbyopia.
· Those who want to improve quality of life by seeing clearly without glasses for distance.
· Those who wish to correct both cataracts and astigmatism.

FLACS With Mono Toric IOL is an advanced cataract surgery method that combines femtosecond laser technology with a monofocal toric intraocular lens. This procedure corrects both cataracts and corneal astigmatism at the same time. The femtosecond laser allows the doctor at our affiliated hospital to create precise corneal incisions and a perfectly centered opening in the lens capsule. This level of accuracy helps the toric lens remain stable and properly aligned, which is essential for improving distance vision. By using a monofocal toric lens, the procedure can provide clear vision at a selected distance while simultaneously correcting the irregular shape of the cornea.

The procedure offers several benefits that contribute to improved visual outcomes and quality of life; clearer distance vision often reduces or eliminates the need for glasses for far tasks, while the precision of the laser minimizes the risk of lens rotation after surgery. This method also reduces the amount of ultrasound energy needed during cataract removal, which can lead to faster healing and less postoperative discomfort.

FLACS With Mono Toric IOL begins with a consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital. During this consultation, the doctor will evaluate the eyes, measure the cornea, and determine the degree of astigmatism. The procedure usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes per eye. The femtosecond laser is used to make accurate corneal incisions and a perfectly circular opening in the lens capsule, which helps stabilize the toric lens. The laser also softens the cataract, reducing the amount of ultrasound energy needed during lens removal. After the natural lens is carefully removed, the doctor implants the monofocal toric lens, aligning it to correct astigmatism.

The combination of advanced laser technology and a toric lens allow the doctor to deliver precise, safe, and predictable visual outcomes with minimal downtime. Recovery is generally quick, with most patients noticing improved vision within 7 days. Mild discomfort or blurred vision may occur temporarily, and full visual clarity is usually achieved within 2 to 4 weeks.

1. Consultation will be conducted by the doctor.
2. Local anesthesia will be applied.
3. A small incision will be made.
4. The cataract will be softened with laser.
5. The cataract will be removed.
6. Monofocal Toric IOL will be implanted and positioned.
7. A follow-up visit will be scheduled to monitor healing.

· Limit screen time for 3 to 5 days after procedure

Q1: Will FLACS With Mono Toric IOL eliminate the need for glasses?
A1: FLACS With Mono Toric IOL typically reduces dependence on glasses for distance vision, but reading glasses may still be needed for near tasks.

Q2: When can vision improve after FLACS With Mono Toric IOL?
A2: Many patients notice clearer vision within 7 days after FLACS With Mono Toric IOL, with full visual recovery in 2 to 4 weeks.

Q3: Can both eyes be treated at the same time with FLACS With Mono Toric IOL?
A3: FLACS With Mono Toric IOL is often performed 1 eye at a time by the doctor at our affiliated hospital to ensure safety and optimal healing.

Q4: Can FLACS With Mono Toric IOL prevent future cataracts?
A4: Yes, the natural lens is replaced with a toric lens in FLACS With Mono Toric IOL, hence cataracts do not return in the treated eye.

Q5: How long does the effect of FLACS With Mono Toric IOL last?
A5: The visual correction from FLACS With Mono Toric IOL is designed to last a lifetime, with the toric lens remaining stable in the eye.
