Hybrid cataract surgery combines the advantages of traditional phacoemulsification with femtosecond laser technology to offer a more precise and customized approach to cataract treatment. The femtosecond laser is used to perform key steps of the procedure, such as creating the corneal incisions, opening the capsule around the cataract, and breaking up the cataract into smaller pieces. This technology improves the accuracy of these steps, potentially reducing the need for ultrasonic energy and improving surgical outcomes.

The hybrid approach offers the precision of laser technology combined with the surgeon's expertise in traditional cataract surgery, providing better outcomes and faster recovery.
