Cataract surgery 

The surgical technique to remove the lens of the eye is called phacoemulsification and is mainly performed using ultrasound technology. 

In different clinical and experimental studies we analyse, improve and develop:

• Surgical phaco-techniques and technologies.
• The use of femtosecond laser to perform single steps of cataract surgery with the objective to minimize complications, to individualize treatment, and to make it more predictable.
• Ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVD) that protect the cellular layers of the eye and especially stabilize the anterior segment of the eye during surgery.
