Physicians at the Texas Eye and Laser Center in Hurst announced they have performed one of the first blade-free cataract surgeries in North Texas, according to a WFAA report.
Physicians at the center call it a "breakthrough" that provides better accuracy and faster recovery time.
"I think it gives better visual outcomes," said Brian Ranelle, MD, an eye surgeon at the clinic. "I think it gives slightly faster visual recovery. People are able to go back to their normal lives quicker. They can drive the day after surgery, just the visual recovery is quicker."
