Robolazr Cataract Surgery introduced:
Grewal Eye Institute (GEI), Sector 9, has introduced the first of its
kind Robolazr Cataract Surgery. Robolazr is a blade-free laser
procedure which has brought in a paradigm shift in cataract surgery
worldwide and delivers better results for the cataract patients. In
traditional cataract surgery, handheld blades were used to make
incisions. “With Robolazr the surgeon can now make the corneal
incisions and the capsulotomy with unprecedented precision and
accuracy up to one micron level which is impossible to achieve with
the handheld technique,” said Dr Dilraj, a guest faculty at the
Grewal Institute, (a US-based doctor of Indian origin, who created the
training module for Robolazr procedure).
