Laser Cataract Surgery Team

Clemson Eye has joined with Dr. David Donelson to Offer the Newest FDA-Approved Laser for Cataract and Vision Correction Eye Surgery.  Until recently, cataract surgery required the use of a manual surgical blade to open the eye and capsule supporting the lens, which increased the chance of outcome variability (see incision photos). With recent LenSx® laser FDA approval, surgeons now have consistent incisions that are up to ten times more precise than the manual portions of the cataract surgical procedure.1 Customized for each unique eye, laser cataract surgery performs advanced astigmatism treatments to ensure the very best visual result.  The precision and customization of the LenSx® laser is perfectly suited to patients seeking an improved visual outcome through an advanced lens implant.
