Premium cataract surgery versus traditional cataract surgery involves two important differences. The use of a laser to correct for low levels of astigmatism and to create the incisions in the eye and in the lens capsule reducing the need for glasses and contacts afterward.
The other important difference of premium surgery is the type of implant that can be used. In these cases we can use an implant to correct for higher levels of astigmatism or to produce multifocality, so that patients are less dependent on glasses and contact lenses after surgery.
