Novelties at Vision Mendez

The first bladeless cataract surgery equipment.

Dr. Mendez and his team, are some of the few ophthalmologists in Mexico and in the world, that can offer their patients this state of the art surgical operation. LenSx is the first bladeless cataract surgery in Mexico, is contains precision of laser with femtosecond technology.

For many years, patients of IVDM have asked:

Doctor how are you able to remove cataract through lasers?

For many years this type of procedure has been constantly thought about, and now, it is finally possible. Today, the LenSx laser revolutionizes the way cataract surgery is performed. Before LenSx, cataract surgery required the manual use of a surgical scalpel, but with the recent FDA approved LenSx, the few surgeons that have the opportunity to use the laser eliminate the need for a scalpel.

The laser approach to cataract surgery allows the surgeon to further improve accuracy, providing patients with greater safety and a much faster recovery. While these measures have been routinely performed before surgery, the laser LenSx uses a series of highly advanced technology – including integrated optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements and captures data that is incredibly accurate with high resolution. The images, measurements and data provided are used to plan and carry out surgery to exact specifications that cannot be achieved with traditional surgery.

LenSx laser is specifically designed to perform the most precise and delicate surgeries that were not possible before. It uses a laser to produce femtosecond pulses individualized for each patient and different case.

Now at the IVDM cataract surgery is as unique and precise as your eyes.

Each human eye varies depending on the size, depth, corneal curvature, and other essential factors. In preparation for cataract surgery, all eyes are carefully measured and scheduled to make an individualized surgery. Before, all surgeries were done by hand and in the same form regardless of the aforementioned variables.

Now you have a computer system that displays real-time images, as well as the measurements and the data they provide used to plan and carry out the surgery accustom specifically for your eye, which before this advanced medical technology was unattainable.
