What to Expect: About Laser Cataract Surgery at CODET in Mexico

  • Education, exam, and consultation happen first
  • If laser cataract surgery is the best option for you, we will proceed with treatment
  • You will experience a pain-free procedure using local anesthesia 
  • Surgery is completed on one eye per day
  • The second eye can be treated two days after the first
  • Procedures are 20 minutes long, per eye
  • You can go home the same day, returning the next day for a post-operative check-up

First, the surgeon will use the laser to create an opening in the front layer of the lens. The surgeon then uses the laser to break the cloudy lens into smaller pieces instead of using manual instruments. The lens pieces are removed using a tiny ultrasound suction device, which is inserted through the corneal incision.

Once the cataract has been completely removed, an intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted through the tiny incision into the capsular bag where the natural lens used to be. Because the incision is so small, it is often watertight and does not require any sutures.
