In regular cataract surgery, a surgeon manually creates an incision to remove the cloudy lens. Laser cataract surgery employs laser technology for precise incisions, enhancing accuracy. It's especially beneficial for challenging cases like White Cataracts.

Normal cataract surgery uses a phacoemulsification unit. This unit unit has a small tip on the end of it which uses a jackhammer type motion, it is irrigating as well as aspirating the eye to remove the debris from the eye (loosened catatact) while not collapsing the eye.
The laser technique is an alternative way to break up the cataract yet it still will need irrigation and aspiration for removal.
