What is FLACS – Robotic-Assisted Laser Cataract Surgery?
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) at Perfect Vision uses the Johnson & Johnson Vision CATALYS™ Precision Laser System for computer-guided steps such as corneal incisions, capsulotomy and lens fragmentation, before the lens is removed and an IOL is implanted. Its use is decided case by case.

Every eye is different. The right procedure is the one that fits your cornea, your lens, your retina and the way you use your vision every day — not the one that is most advertised. Technology supports the decision; it never replaces the clinical evaluation.
