What Is Laser Cataract Surgery (LCS)
Laser Cataract Surgery (LCS) is relatively newer (2011) technology that may add improvements when combined with the CustomCorrection™ surgery. At Roholt Vision Institute, we have always been in the forefront of advancements in eye surgery, and the doctors here have experience with LCS. We can offer LCS to patients who desire CustomCorrection™ eye surgery, at any one of our three locations, Canton, Alliance, or Canfield, and perform the LCs at Surgery Alliance. The outcomes utilizing this technology, when used with the premium intraocular lens are better, with reduced chance of astigmatism than with the Basic surgery.
This procedure is a safe, effective addition to current, state-of-art techniques such as Roholt Vision Institute’s CustomCorrection™. We will look at what LCS does, then examine recent research.

I visited Roholt VISION in Alliance where I had cataract surgery at the Alliance surgery center. It was an amazingly wonderful experience. I so appreciate Dr. Celmer and Dr. Kubis. They answered all of my questions, were very friendly and skilled in their profession. I can’t recommend them enough. I’m so glad I chose Roholt for my vision care.

When I checked i. I was told I wasn’t on the schedule. I replied “ that’s what happened to me at my last appointment “. She put me in and my appointment was great in a likely manner. Now I have to wait on Phil RX and insurance to decide if my prescription approved or denied and if I can get a decent rate.

Roholt treats me epic! They tolerate my stupid humor and never fail to make me feel heard and seen. Not many medical places you can say that about huh? Amiright? Or amiright? I had cataract surgery in 2018 I think someplace else, and they fixed a few errors that were done back then for me and I’ve never left. I’m old… my vision is amazing, but boy the dry eye. They do everything they can to help me. From the front desk to Dr. Celmer, it’s always worth the visit, and I’m always treated great!
Great staff. Was well taken care of and vision is everything I hoped it would be. Added a goofy pic just because it lets you.
Doctors and staff are all wonderful. A more than acceptable option for your eye lens/cataract issues! Definitely would recommend!
Nice people. Prompt service.
Well treated and informed. I would recommend you to anyone that needs a good excellent eyecare.
From start to finish, all the employees I encountered were very professional and knowledgeable. All of my questions about my sight being blurry due to high blood sugar were answered, most before I even asked them. The technology was impressive and every room was crisp and clean. A great experience overall.
Roholt Vision is highly competent. They were professional, efficient, thorough, and friendly. After the exam they explained all the options available for my vision and recommended a process to follow. 5 Stars!
Dr. Mathie is just the best eye doctor ever. He listens to any concerns I have regarding my condition and gives excellent feedback when I ask questions. He actually cares about his patients and does not talk down to you. He explains everything in great detail. I absolutely recommend him to anyone with glaucoma or cataracts!

How LCS Works
The basic concept of LCS is to use the following three major components: docking, optical aiming, and femtosecond laser. A vacuum docking system that connects the laser to the eye. It is similar to the suction device used for LASIK or bladeless LASIK. An imaging device in the system takes detailed pictures to plan the surgery. The last component is using the laser, which can perform the corneal and lens capsule incisions and softens up the cataract
How Is The Procedure Performed
In Laser Cataract Surgery, or LCS, the procedure is performed as follows: the treatment plan is loaded into a computer, drops are administered, the eye is docked, the laser first cuts the incisions (into the eye and on the lens capsule). Then the patient is brought to the operating room so the cataract can be removed, and the lens implant placed in the usual manner. LCS takes slightly longer because, although some steps are performed automatically, the patient usually needs to be transferred from the laser to the operating room, in addition to the laser procedure.
LCS Surgery Vs. CustomCorrection™ Cataract Surgery
At Roholt Vision Institute, the advanced CustomCorrection™ (CC) procedures can be performed with or without LCS. With LCS the added benefits are: incisions are very precise, the cataract lens capsule opening is perfectly round and centered (similar to the Zepto also used at Roholt Vision Institute for CC). Less energy is used to remove the cataract with LCS. Postop Day One corneal swelling is less than Basic surgery. Visual results after surgery with the use of the LCS Laser are generally better and more predictable than Basic surgery.
Will Insurance Cover LCS Cataract Surgery
The additional cost for the use of this technology is an out-of-pocket expense for the patient since it is not covered by Medicare or Private Insurance Companies.
