In a clinical survey conducted by ASCRS, a stunning 94 percent of surgeons plan to offer laser-assisted cataract surgery at some capacity in the next ten years.
Despite the high volume of interested surgeons, however, few are currently offering the surgery. Only 8 percent of cataract patients receive laser-assisted cataract surgery, and more than half of young surgeons have no experience performing the procedure.
Why don’t these numbers match up? Many surgeons worry about the high price of the femtosecond laser and its associated maintenance. Others believe that bringing the procedure to their OR will cost too much time.
Sightpath Medical knows all of the hurdles – and the triumphs – associated with bringing laser-assisted cataract surgery to your hospital, ASC or practice. As of 2017, we’ve onboarded over 500 surgeons across 260 locations and participated in more than 50,000 laser cataract procedures.
