Catatract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the US, and has undergone tremendous advances over the past 20 years. Over 2.5 million people undergo cataract surgery in the US each year and patient expectations continue to rise. According to Board Certified Ophthalmic Surgeon Maurice Mosseri, MD, of The Glaucoma and Cataract Centers of New York (http://www.drmosseri.com ), half of all Americans over age 65 have cataracts, and the number of people requiring cataract surgery is increasing as the population begins to age. With this increase in surgical demand is a desire to further increase cataract surgery safety and reliability. According to Maurice Mosseri, MD, the new Alcon Infinity TM Vision System provides the most technologically advanced method to remove a cataract.

A cataract is a clouded lens that causes a decrease in vision and/or contrast sensitivity. The most modern technique for removing the clouded lens involves the use of a high frequency ultrasound pulses to emulsify the lens. The emulsified lens material is removed by fluid entering and exiting the eye. The fluid flow and the eye’s anterior chamber must be precisely controlled in order to allow for safe removal of the cataract.

“The Infinity TM machine provides the surgeon with previously unobtainable stability, control and safety, while at the same time allowing for rapid removal of the cataract”. Dr. Mosseri notes that the Infinity TM system is the first tri-modal cataract removal system, “It allows for removal of a cataract with ultrasound alone, ultrasound combined with oscillation via the NeoSoniX handpiece, or with surgical fluid pulses via the AquaLase system. The improved fluid management system allows for extremely quick responses to surgeon demands as well as a high level of eye stability”.

While the machine is a product of 4 years and 40 million dollars worth of research, it still requires a skilled surgeon to operate properly and achieve the excellent results that are now possible. The advanced fluidics, multiple cataract removal modes and versatility make using the Infinity machine like driving a high performance race car with the added benefit of increased safety for the surgeon who understands and has experience with the system. According to Board Certified Surgeon, Maurice Mosseri, MD “ in the proper hands, the Infinity system provides the surgeon with the most technologically advanced method to remove a cataract.”

Maurice Mosseri, MD is one of the most experienced surgeons in the New York Area with the Infinity TM phacoemulsification system. Modern cataract surgery technique allows people on blood thinners to have surgery because the cataract surgery does not cause bleeding. The rapid rehabilitation after cataract surgery is one of the great advantages of using this modern techniques called phacoemulsification. Dr. Maurice Mosseri adds “Some surgeons may be reluctant to switch to the new system because they are comfortable with the older system, but the effort is well worth the improved patient safety”.
