Nethradhama Super Specialty Eye Hospitals performed the first refractive cataract surgery in India using Femtis Mplus. The latest innovation in ophthalmology is the paradigm-changing cataract surgery that combines defect correction and defect correction. Additionally, refractive errors, including nearsightedness and farsightedness, account for 70.6% of cases of early vision impairment.
Dr. Sri Ganesh, Founder and CMD of Nethradhama Super Specialty Eye Hospital, completed his 25th surgery using the Femtis MPlus - Super Premium Laser Lens, which was showcased at the Phaco Festival 2024 held in Bangalore last month.
" Our surgery is the first eye hospital in India to offer this procedure. The advanced technology improves the precision and efficiency of cataract surgery and offers patients the best visual results in a single surgery. Combining Femtis MPlus IOL with automated capsulotomy and femtoliter cataract surgery sets a new standard for refractive cataract care in India. These advanced features enable our patients to have optimal and better clinical outcomes, says Dr. Ganesh.
“After standard cataract surgery, patients may wear corrective or prescription lenses to correct refractive errors, such as near-cataract. Contact lenses are often necessary. - Farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia. Refractive cataract surgery aims to eliminate the need for prescription glasses and provide quality vision correction after cataract removal. That's why refractive cataract surgery is a big step forward," says Dr. Sri Ganesh.
The Femtis M Plus intraocular lens developed by Teleon reduces lens wear time and the ability to correct astigmatism simultaneously. One of the main advantages is the precision of the capsulotomy, which is important for the long-term stability of the intraocular lens (IOL). Unlike manual capsulotomy, which varies in shape or size, the Femtis MPlus IOL ensures a perfectly circular capsulotomy, optimizing IOL function and improving visual outcomes.
In addition, the unique design features a far optical zone with a seamless transition from distance vision to near vision, providing patients with continuous and clear vision at all distances. They also don't have the side effects of trifocal or multifocal IOLs, such as halos, glare, and negative photoopia (dark shadows in the field of vision). Eye care for children. We research treatment methods and ensure the best results for patients. Dr. Sri Ganesh has performed more than 100,000 Phaco surgeries and more than 75,000 invasive surgeries to date.
