Amrit Medicare has introduced ‘LenSx’ Laser equipment, manufactured by Alcom in the United States.
This is the latest technology to be used in carrying out cataract surgeries. This advanced precision-based technology is a computer controlled system that is used to make incisions in the cataract.

According to Mr. S Lalith Kumar, Director and Consultant, Aswini Eye Care — Amrit Hospital, this will make the surgeon’s life easier as the computer controller allows to perform clinical procedure with great precision & accuracy. It is also easy to learn and can be put to use quickly.
