Bioptics
The Catalys/LensAR Femtosecond lasers and Wavelight EX500 excimer laser provide the ultimate accuracy for those who elect this option.
Bioptics: Bioptics is now the most popular procedure for those who desire the greatest accuracy in uncorrected visual acuity. Bioptics is a combination of procedures—a Refractive Lensectomy/Cataract Surgery which is subsequently fine tuned through a subsequent LASIK or PRK with the Wavelight EX500 Excimer Laser. The “fine tuning” is performed only if necessary and only after your Refractive Lensectomy /Cataract surgery has had time to heal, which is typically 6 weeks.
Bioptics is not indicated for everyone who has a RL/Cataract surgery, but remains an option for those who wish to optimize their uncorrected visual potential.
Commonwealth Eye Surgery pioneered Bioptics in Kentucky after FDA approval of the excimer laser in 1997.
