If you’ve been told it’s time for cataract surgery, you may be wondering what to expect—or how technology has changed over the years. At Gordon Schanzlin New Vision Institute, we’re proud to offer the newest and most advanced option available: Alcon’s Unity® Phaco system.
This breakthrough technology is the first major upgrade in cataract surgery tools in over 15 years, and our practice is the first in the U.S. to use both devices in the Unity system.
So what does that mean for you?
- A gentler procedure: Unity Phaco uses up to 40% less ultrasound energy, which may reduce strain on the eye during surgery.
- Quicker surgical time: A shorter procedure can mean less time in the chair—and a faster path to clearer vision.
- Advanced pressure control: Better control during surgery can lead to more consistent outcomes and a smoother recovery.
Our own Dr. Julio Echegoyen helped test this technology through clinical trials, working directly with the developers to ensure it delivers safer, more effective results.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful eye procedures performed today—and with Unity Phaco, it’s now more precise and efficient than ever. If you’re considering cataract surgery in San Diego, we invite you to learn more about how this new technology could benefit you.
