Femto-Cataract Surgery or FLACS
Femto-cataract surgery, or FLACS, is a cataract surgery technique in which a femtosecond laser is used to perform certain stages of the procedure with planned precision.
In femto-cataract surgery, certain steps that are performed manually in conventional cataract surgery can be planned and carried out using a femtosecond laser. This technology allows the surgeon to perform certain incisions and lens-preparation steps with a high degree of precision.
Certain stages of surgery are planned based on measurements specific to the patient's eye.
The laser can be used to create certain incisions and assist with lens preparation.
Laser technology allows more precise control and planning of certain sensitive stages of surgery.
Suitability for FLACS is determined based on the condition of the eye and the surgeon's evaluation.
This technique may be considered for certain patients with cataracts whose eye structure and overall condition are suitable for the use of femtosecond laser technology. The final decision is made after a complete eye examination and evaluation of the lens, cornea, and other structures of the eye.
In both procedures, the cloudy natural lens is removed and usually replaced with an intraocular lens. The main difference is that in FLACS, certain surgical preparation steps are performed with the assistance of a femtosecond laser, while in conventional surgery these steps are performed mainly manually by the surgeon.
The exact surgical process may vary from patient to patient, but in general, after preoperative assessments, the main stages of surgery are performed according to a carefully planned approach.
After surgery, regular use of prescribed eye drops, avoiding eye rubbing, following recommendations regarding daily activities, and attending scheduled follow-up examinations are very important.
The goal of cataract surgery is to remove the cloudy natural lens and replace it with an intraocular lens, allowing light to pass through the eye more clearly. The final outcome depends on the condition of the eye, the type of lens selected, and the health of the other components of the visual system.
The cataract surgery technique should be selected according to each patient's eye condition. Newer technology is not necessarily the best option for every patient. After evaluating the lens, cornea, eye pressure, retina, and other factors, the ophthalmologist recommends the most appropriate approach.

Yes. After the cloudy natural lens is removed, it is usually replaced with an intraocular lens. The type of lens is selected according to the condition of the eye and the patient's visual needs.
No. Suitability depends on the structure of the eye, the type of cataract, the condition of the cornea, and other medical factors, and should be determined by an ophthalmologist.
Recovery varies from person to person. Vision may improve during the first few days, but final stabilization of visual quality depends on the condition of the eye and the healing process.
The appropriate cataract surgery technique is selected after a specialized examination and detailed evaluation of the eye.
