RE: A Brief History Of Cataract Surgery : Part 2

in #health6 years ago

Very interesting read that inspires me to learn more. Your post cleared up the history of cataract surgery, leading to the use of the Femtosecond Laser.

I find it interesting that LASIK uses a type of Femtosecond Laser. These days lens replacement is replacing LASIK, and is common with patients that do not have cataracts.

I know that is a different topic, and you did a great job staying focused on cataract surgery in your post. --3D

Thank you @three-d for reading it & for you good feedback.
Yeah LASIK(laser in situ keratomeleusis) also uses the femtosecond laser but its a different approach where only cornea is involved. Basically what we do in lasik is just thinning out the corneal stroma to correct refractive error.
