What problem Did The Laserphaco Probe Solve?
The Laserphaco Probe solved the problem of cataracts by allowing surgeons to remove them more precisely and safely. Before this invention, cataracts were removed using a method called extracapsular cataract extraction, which involved removing the entire lens of the eye. This procedure was more invasive and had a higher risk of complications. The Laserphaco Probe uses a laser to break up the cataract and then remove it with suction, making the surgery less invasive and safer.
