Expert Guidance During Cataract Surgery: ORA™ System
Prior to your cataract surgery, your doctor will determine what type and power of replacement Intraocular Lens (IOL) to implant in your eye. This choice is based on preoperative measurements of your eye and your vision goals.
However, some prior surgical processes or eye conditions can alter these measurements slightly, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact power necessary to produce the very best vision results…until now.
At Arizona Eye Specialists we incorporate Optiwave Refractive Analysis (ORA) technology to provide real-time intraoperative measurements of your refractive error after the cloudy lens is removed – during surgery – so we can adjust the IOL power if necessary. The ORA system takes a Wavefront analysis of the eye after the cataract has been removed to calculate the proper IOL.
Benefits of the ORA System
With the ORA System, your doctor can assess your eyes on-the-spot to:
- Measure the true refractive power of your eye
- Choose the IOL power that will provide a better visual outcome
- Completely tailor your procedure
- Reduce the need for follow-up surgeries
ORA technology is especially helpful for patients who have astigmatism. Patients are often amazed at how quickly their vision is restored.
