Hawaii Vision Clinic now offers patients the new standard in precision cataract surgery with the CATALYS® Precision Laser System. Using CATALYS, Dr. Wong can provide a gentle, highly customized cataract procedure with precision not achievable with traditional manual techniques.

We include this revolutionary procedure with all of our premium lens implants in order to give our patients the most advanced surgery available with the best results and safety profile.

It is also an available option for our standard cataract patients as well, allowing us to treat their astigmatism at the same time!

Developed by Silicon Valley-based OptiMedica Corp., CATALYS is a new FDA market cleared medical device that features a state-of-the-art laser, advanced 3D imaging, and many other innovative features that can bring numerous benefits to Hawaii Vision Clinic patients.

Every eye has a unique size and shape. CATALYS’ advanced 3D imaging technology builds a 3D map of each eye and tailors the treatment to that map. This enables Dr. Wong to create a customized treatment plan that matches the uniqueness of each eye.

Next, Dr. Wong uses CATALYS to create a circular opening for accessing and removing the cataract. Clinical studies have shown that this opening is approximately 10 times more accurate when performed with CATALYS than what is achievable by hand. CATALYS then softens and breaks up the hard cataract into tiny pieces, allowing for gentler, easier cataract removal.

Depending on the patient’s pre-operative vision and desired visual result, Dr. Wong may recommend a tailored treatment plan that could include creating ultra-precise laser incisions in the cornea and a specific clear lens type, such as a multi-focal lens. This tailored treatment may reduce a patient’s need for glasses or contacts after surgery.
