Femtolaser Approved for Cataract Surgery
Illinois-based Abbott’s iFS advanced femtosecond laser has received FDA clearance for use in corneal and cataract surgeries to create bow-shaped or curved arcuate incisions. The fifth generation of IntraLase technology, the iFS laser creates lasik flaps and performs other corneal incisions. The device allows surgeons to make precise, bladeless arcuate incisions and to customize each incision. The placement, length, depth and radius of curvature can influence the surgeon’s desired change to the cornea. These parameters are often difficult to control through traditional incisions using surgical knives.
