What Is FLACS With Multifocal Toric IOL?
FLACS With Multifocal Toric IOL is an advanced cataract surgery procedure that combines femtosecond laser-assisted technology with a premium multifocal toric intraocular lens. The femtosecond laser allows the doctor at our affiliated hospital to perform highly precise steps, including creating a perfectly sized and centered opening in the lens capsule and fragmenting the cataract for easier removal. The multifocal toric lens corrects astigmatism while providing multiple focal points for near, intermediate, and distance vision. This combination helps achieve clearer vision across all ranges and reduces dependence on glasses or corrective lenses after procedure.
The procedure also provides several long-term benefits; the precise positioning of the multifocal toric IOL ensures better rotational stability and minimizes lens tilt or decentration, which enhances visual clarity. High spectacle independence and improved visual quality for daytime and night-time activities are other advantages. In addition, the minimally invasive nature of the procedure supports faster recovery, allowing the doctor at our affiliated hospital to monitor healing closely while maintaining optimal eye health and comfort.
How It Works
FLACS With Multifocal Toric IOL begins with a consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital. During this consultation, detailed measurements of the eye are taken, including lens power, corneal curvature, and astigmatism level, to determine the most suitable multifocal toric lens.
On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to the eye to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The femtosecond laser is used to create a precise circular opening in the lens capsule and fragment the cataract, allowing for smoother removal. After the cataract is removed, the multifocal toric IOL is carefully inserted and aligned to correct astigmatism while providing clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. The procedure typically takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes per eye, with minimal discomfort and very small, self-sealing incisions that usually do not require sutures.
The procedure involves a short downtime of recovery, with most patients noticing improvements in vision within 7 days. Some fluctuations or mild glare may occur initially but generally stabilize over 4 to 6 weeks. Follow-up visits will be scheduled to allow the doctor to monitor healing and ensure the lens remains perfectly positioned.
