          The
        
        
          Athens Eye Hospital
        
        
          features two laser systems out of the four
        
        
          that are that currently available. The aim is to tailor each cataract op-
        
        
          eration to the patient and their needs. The CATALYS precision Laser
        
        
          System by Abbot Medical Optics is the most contemporary example
        
        
          of femtosecond laser technology. Within a few seconds it performs
        
        
          the three crucial sections of the surgery, painlessly and without the
        
        
          slightest discomfort to the patient.

          the area of the retina that is responsible for our central sharp
        
        
          vision. Diseases of the macula may create serious problems in

          invest in femtosecond laser
        
        
          technology?
        
        
          I have both cataracts and
