Advantages of the LENSAR Laser System
- The LENSAR Laser System allows our surgeons to offer you a better, more accurate cataract removal procedure that is customized to your eye.

This treatment allows our patients to have sharper uncorrected vision.
- The LENSAR Laser System replaces blades and other instrumentation to provide you with a safer and more precise cataract procedure.
- LENSAR’s Augmented Reality provides a high resolution, 3-D model of your cataract that allows our surgeons to tailor your cataract surgery, which can improve visual outcomes.
- The LENSAR Laser System is the most advanced technology available, which improves safety and may reduce the time it takes to remove your cataracts.
- The LENSAR Laser System was designed with patient comfort in mind, so you can relax, knowing you have the latest technology available to treat one of your most valuable senses – your sight.

Are you bothered by glare from the water, during summer days? Ordinary tinted lenses merely darken what you see, and do not actually get rid of glare. Polarized lenses are designed to eliminate glare. This unique lens, can cut through haze and produce enhanced vision, where objects are clearer, cleaner, and even colors are more vibrant. Polarized lenses actually bend reflected light away from your eyes, which means when you look at water, surface reflection is eliminated.
As a result, you are able to see below the water’s surface and spot fish, to amazing depths through these lenses. Many polarized lenses now feature anti-reflective treatment on the back of the lens, for even better clarity, and reduced back glare. For more information, ask us at Regional Eye Center in Hutchinson, MN about polarized lenses with anti-reflective treatment, the world will look better, and so will you.
