Laserphaco Probe: Revolutionizing Cataract Surgery - Benefits & Safety

The Laserphaco Probe solved the problem of cataracts by allowing surgeons to remove them more precisely and safely. Before this invention, cataracts were removed using a method called extracapsular cataract extraction, which involved removing the entire lens of the eye. This procedure was more invasive and had a higher risk of complications. The Laserphaco Probe uses a laser to break up the cataract and then remove it with suction, making the surgery less invasive and safer.
