Mehta Eye Clinic, founded by Dr V C Mehta, has always been in the forefront of technology. With over two decades of experience, the clinic is well-known for its comprehensive range of advanced eye care services. With the introduction of LenSx®, the clinic has now created a benchmark for itself.
LenSx® is a highly technologically advanced option for cataract patients and offers multiple advantages over traditional cataract surgery. LenSx® is also known popularly as Femtosecond Laser and is a revolutionary, precision based technology certified by the US FDA. The technology has gained popularity worldwide with over 27,000 LenSx® laser cataract surgeries performed in 30 countries.
Until now, traditional cataract surgery involved the use of a manual surgical blade to open the eye. LenSx® will now enable surgeons to operate with unmatched precision using Femtosecond Laser and computer control, making it a true robotic laser cataract surgery . The LenSx® machine hence reduces dependency on human skill by replacing it with advanced technology. This helps customize the procedure to patient eye with better safety. The entire surgery is painless and has up to 10 times more accuracy than manual cataract surgery.
Dr V C Mehta, the Founder Director and Chief Surgeon, explains, "LenSx® Laser machines provides surgeons with real time video imaging, and 3D visualisation of the entire anterior segment! This means greater surgical accuracy than before. Our surgeons will use the high-res visualization technology to guide the process and ensure properly shaped and custom-centered incisions with precision and safety. The Laser softens the cataract and helps it to break up easily without any trauma to the patient's eye. So the tiny pieces of cataract can be removed smoothly and better positioning of the replacement lens for the patient becomes possible."
Within just one month of installing this technology, Mehta Eye Clinic has successfully completed over 15 LenSx® Laser surgeries and the response has been tremendous. Dr Siddharth Mehta, the Director of the clinic, is in fact the first surgeon in Mumbai to do a LenSx® Laser surgery. "The future of eye care is definitely here," says Dr Siddharth. "LenSx® not only is a safer and high precision technology, but also ensures predictable outcome in every single patient case," Siddharth explains.
Dr V C Mehta adds that Mehta Eye Clinic has always believed in ensuring the best care for patients by combining its expertise with the best of technology. "With the introduction of LenSx® surgery, we now help patients experience tomorrow's technology today. The era of Robotic Laser Cataract surgery has arrived," Dr V C Mehta shares.
