ABSTRACT:
A laser may be used to soften the cataractous tissue prior to removal with the wedge-tipped probe. The cataract softening or other laser energy used during the surgical procedure being performed may be delivered through the operating microscope. In the case of cataract softening, when the laser is so delivered, no delay is required between cataract softening and cataract removal.
