What is FLACS Robotic Cataract Surgery?

Refractive Eye Surgery

FLACS (Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery) is a ground-breaking cataract surgery at Sohana Eye Hospital that combines the benefits of the cutting-edge femtosecond laser and the AI Callisto surgical navigation and guidance system for the most precise results. While the femtosecond laser technology replaces the blade used in traditional surgery, the Callisto offers real-time assistance and visual guidance to the surgeon. Together, the two technologies ensure a highly smooth, painless procedure with optimal lens positioning - making robotic+AI cataract surgery safer, faster, and much more precise as compared to traditional methods.

Given the unmatched level of comfort, perfect placement of the IOL, and superior visual outcomes, this technology is ideal for patients seeking a blade-free and painless cataract treatment with excellent vision quality.

Highlights of FLACS:
  • 100% bladeless, painless, and sutureless
  • US-FDA approved femtosecond laser
  • IOL personalised to each patient’s unique eye condition
  • Minimal trauma to the eye and a quicker recovery
  • Accurate & precise cataract removal
  • No hospital stay required

How FLACS Works

Step-1

Numbing Eye Drops

Before the surgery begins, the patient is given numbing eye drops to make sure he/she doesn’t experience any pain or discomfort during the surgery.

Step-2

Laser-Assisted Incision Creation

The surgery begins with making a small cut in the cornea to reach the lens. Advanced imaging through the Callisto system lets the robotic femtosecond laser make a neat circular opening in the lens capsule (also known as capsulotomy).

Step-3

Lens Fragmentation

Then the laser, guided by a computer, softens and breaks down the cloudy lens (cataract) into smaller pieces. This reduces the need for ultrasound energy, which can harm your eyes. Because of the femtosecond laser, the complete process of cataract removal is made gentler and smoother.

Step-4

Lens Removal and IOL Placement

Next, the broken-down cataract fragments are gently suctioned out through the small incision made in the cornea at the beginning of the surgery. Following this, a new, artificial intraocular lens (IOL) suited to the patient’s visual requirements is implanted for crystal clear vision.

Step-5

Quick Recovery

Since the surgery is blade-free, sutureless, and minimally invasive, recovery is relatively fast. Most patients report sharper vision within the 24-48 hour period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FLACS better than conventional cataract surgery?

Answer: Yes. FLACS is an advanced cataract surgery technology. It combines the bladeless Femto laser technique with the AI navigation and guidance Callisto system for superior visual outcomes. Apart from being painless, FLACS offers unmatched precision, faster recovery, better safety, and enhanced vision quality compared to traditional cataract surgery.
Answer: No. Firstly, a Femtosecond laser instead of a blade is used to remove the clouded lens and replace it with an artificial lens. Secondly, the eye surgeon numbs your eyes using anaesthetic drops, ensuring a completely painless experience.
Answer: Those who have cataracts and want a bladeless, computer-navigation guided, and advanced procedure for a painless experience and better visual outcomes are usually eligible for robotic AI cataract surgery.
Answer: Most cataract surgeries are done one eye at a time. Still, you can discuss it with your surgeon. They will recommend the best plan based on your condition.
Answer: Being a breakthrough robotic AI procedure, FLACS is done on an outpatient basis. The entire procedure takes about 10–15 minutes per eye.
Answer: The robotic + AI cataract surgery comes with the benefit of fast recovery. Most patients resume normal routines within 1–2 days post-surgery.
Answer: It largely depends on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) you choose. Some premium lenses allow you to achieve complete independence from glasses. Sohana Hospital has a choice of premium lenses like multifocal or toric IOLs that can correct presbyopia and astigmatism as well. That means you won’t need glasses for even reading or other close work.
Answer: Sohana Eye Hospital offers affordable FLACS surgery with transparent pricing and no-cost EMI options for patients in Chandigarh and across North India. The goal is to make the advanced and convenient robotic + AI surgery accessible to more patients.
Answer: Yes. Since FLACS is an ultra-high precision cataract surgery, it is safe for adults of all ages - even for complex cases. Not just that, it offers a painless experience with fast visual recovery and a choice of premium lenses.
Answer: Most patients who undergo the advanced FLACS cataract surgery at Sohana Hospital, the best eye hospital in Chandigarh, notice clearer vision within 24–48 hours, and achieve full visual recovery in a few days.
