Modern day cataract surgery is a safe and fast with most patients recovering vision shortly after surgery. It no longer requires a large corneal wound with stitches or removal of the lens bag together with the cataract. It can now be achieved with an ultrasound probe used to liquify and remove the cataract through a small self-sealing wound. These wounds can even be made with a laser, making the entire surgery bladeless if so desired.
The CENTURIAN Vision System is a cataract removal platform by Alcon. It incorporates elements such as Active Fluidics to maximise control and responsiveness, Balanced Energy to optimise safety during surgery as well as Applied Integration to ensure a seamless workflow with complementary technologies such as the VERION image guided system.

SMILE surgery is a minimally invasive laser vision correction alternative to LASIK and PRK. It works by using the Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser to create a lenticule within the layers of the cornea and subsequently removing it through a small incision. It has the benefit of less dry eyes, greater biomechanical stability and faster wound healing.
