Signs You May Need Laser Robotic Cataract Surgery
How Laser Robotic Cataract Surgery Works
The ALLY Robotic Laser Cataract System is the latest technology in cataract surgery, offering unbeatable vision correction results. Unlike other standard cataract procedures, laser robotic cataract surgery is performed all in one room, improving comfort for patients. Below you can learn more about the process.
Imaging
First, the ALLY system will create a 3D model of your eye, providing your surgeon with detailed information on your condition.
Treatment Plan
Using this information, your surgeon will formulate a personalized treatment plan to remove your cloudy natural lens.
Breaking Up Cataracts
The ALLY system will then break up your clouded lens, allowing for removal by your surgeon.
Placing a Lens
Finally, your surgeon will place a carefully chosen intraocular lens. There are a variety of options for different needs.
Understanding the Procedure
Below, you can check out videos in both English and Spanish that explain the robotic cataract surgery procedure and how it differs from traditional cataract surgery. With this information, you can make more informed decisions about which procedure is right for you. Don’t worry, our surgeon will carefully walk you through your options to ensure you make the right choice for your needs.

The Benefits of the ALLY Robotic Laser Cataract System
If you’re interested in laser vision correction, the robotic laser cataract surgery is a great option. Not only does it provide relief from issues like cataracts and astigmatism, but it can also help with nearsightedness and farsightedness. Check out the benefits of choosing our ALLY-guided procedure for your eye surgery needs.
Choosing the Right Intraocular Lenses
There are various types of intraocular lenses available for treating cataracts, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Because there is no lens that is a “one size fits all,” at Gelman Vision we will perform a comprehensive eye exam and evaluation to learn about you and what your goals are. Dr. Gelman can make a recommendation on which lens is the best match for you. Our dedicated and experienced vision care team is here to help rejuvenate your vision and your life!
Toric IOL
Toric IOL lenses can be used in cataract surgery to correct astigmatism, providing a better solution than monofocal lenses for those with astigmatism. You may still need glasses for reading.
Multifocal IOL
A great built-in bifocal lens, these multifocal IOLs let you see far and near without needing to wear glasses or contacts.Â
Toric Multifocal IOL
Just like the toric lenses, the toric multifocal IOLs can treat astigmatism. But these lenses also let you see near and far without wearing glasses.Â
Extended Depth of Focus IOL
With an extended depth for sharp vision without halos or glares, the extended depth of focus IOL is used to give you a continuous range for nearsightedness.Â
Toric Extended Depth of Focus IOL
The toric extended depth of focus IOL is nearly the same design as the extended depth of focus IOL, but this lens enables your eye surgeon to treat astigmatism as well as cataracts with an extended focus for near vision.
Light Adjustable Lens
The Toric Extended Depth of Focus IOL is the same design as the Extended Depth of Focus IOL that enables your eye surgeon to treat astigmatism as well as cataracts.

Refractive Cataract Surgery FAQs
Unfortunately, refractive cataract surgery is not usually covered by insurance, in contrast to basic cataract surgery. However, we do offer financing through CareCredit to make our care more accessible. The best way to find out whether or not your treatment might be covered by insurance is to talk to your insurance provider.
While refractive cataract surgery can be costly, it’s important to remember all the ways this treatment can save you money: first of all, if you have cataracts, you will need cataract surgery, and this is one great option. Next, this surgery provides improved vision, meaning you can reduce your use of vision aids. Just think of the money you can save on glasses and contacts.
You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you’re over the age of 40 with no major eye diseases or conditions.Â
