Bioptics

Bioptics is becoming a popular procedure for individuals desiring the greatest accuracy in uncorrected visual acuity.
 
Bioptics is a combination of procedures – Refractive Lensectomy RL/Cataract Surgery and subsequent LASIK/PRK. The RL/Cataract procedure is fine-tuned with the Technolas® 217z Excimer Laser.  The “fine tuning” is performed only if necessary and only after the RL/Cataract surgery has had time to heal, which is typically 3-6 weeks.
 
Bioptics is not indicated for all individuals who have RL/Cataract surgery, but remains an option for individuals who wish to optimize their uncorrected visual potential. Commonwealth Eye Surgery pioneered Bioptics in Kentucky after FDA approval of the excimer laser in 1997.
