Westlake Eye Surgery Center is the first surgery center in the Tri-County Region to acquire one of the most advanced technologies in cataract surgery, the LenSx. The LenSx Laser is a leap forward in cataract surgery. No pair of eyes are exactly the same which is why each eye needs to be precisely measured and mapped when getting evaluated for cataract surgery.
The LenSx Laser offers an advanced way for surgeons to perform cataract surgery with laser precision. Traditional cataract procedures are done manually with a blade to make the incisions in the eye. The LenSx laser uses a computer guided laser to make the incisions allowing cataract surgery to be more precise and customizable than traditional methods. This allows each surgery to be as precise as possible
“Lensx allows me to customize the cataract procedure to the individual’s eye. The precision with the laser allows me to treat even small amounts of astigmatism and give the patient a greater chance of spectacle independence. Then, of course, there’s the “neat” factor of doing the latest, blade less procedure we can offer these days!” States Dr. William Trotter.
“Our patients have been delighted with the results they are seeing with LenSx. They selected a customized 3-dimensionally guided computer-controlled laser over a one-size-fits-all blade to perform delicate steps of the lens replacement surgery.” Says high volume user Dr. John Davidson.
Often, individuals believe that a cataract must be “ripe” or in an advanced stage to be removed which is false. When a doctor sees signs of cataract and you experience symptoms, you should speak with your doctor about cataract removal so it doesn’t interfere with your lifestyle.
“I was unsure about having cataract surgery due to my other medical issues. I did proceed with the LenSx laser and am so pleased with the outcome. It is much better than I expected. Dr. Davidson did a fantastic job”. Carolyn Holycross, Retired Optician.
Westlake Eye Surgery Center was recently selected by Alcon Surgical to educate fellow ophthalmologists as the Tri-County Regional Training site for future LenSx users. For more information please contact 805-648-3085 to set up your cataract evaluation with one of our LenSx surgeons, Dr. John Davidson, Dr. John Fang, or Dr. William Trotter.
