Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery
Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery has revolutionized modern cataract surgery. The precision, consistency, and safety it delivers simply cannot be matched by the human hand—resulting in better vision outcomes and higher patient safety. At our center, we are proud to be world leaders in this technology.
We Helped Design It
We don’t just use robotic laser systems—we helped invent them.
For more than a decade, our surgeons have partnered with engineers at LENSAR to design and refine laser cataract surgery systems. This collaboration led to the creation of the ALLY Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery system—the most advanced platform in the world today.
(Fun fact: Dr. Shumski holds a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins, where he concentrated & researched in medical robotics more than 20 years ago.)
Robotics + Laser Technology
What makes the ALLY system revolutionary?
It combines advanced robotics with state-of-the-art advanced laser precision.
- Laser technology provides unmatched precision in the delicate steps of modern cataract surgery
- Robotic guidance, controlled by your surgeon, ensures ultra-precise positioning and alignment, customizing every treatment to the unique anatomy of your eye.
This technology allows for a level of precision and consistency that no human hand can match – resulting in safer surgery and better vision afterward.
First in the United States
The ALLY was recognized as the first Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery system in the world.
- Our very own Dr. Shumski performed the first Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery in the United States.
- Not far behind, Dr. Hunter became the third U.S. surgeon to perform the procedure.
This makes our center one of the most experienced practices in robotic cataract surgery worldwide.
The Debate Is Over
Twenty years ago, there was debate: Are lasers really better than traditional surgery by hand? Today, the answer is clear.
The human hand simply cannot match the accuracy, consistency, and safety of robotic laser systems. Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery performed by skilled surgeons results in safer surgery with better vision outcomes for patients.
Global Leaders in Robotic Cataract Surgery
With over a decade of experience helping design and develop these systems, our practice remains at the forefront of innovation in cataract surgery. Very few practices in the world can match our expertise.
