First-of-Its-Kind Cataract Tech in Canada | Vancouver News
Description
Saanich Peninsula Hospital just unveiled Canada’s first public hospital installation of the Alcon UNITY Cataract System — a high-tech, sports-car-smooth upgrade that’s making cataract surgeries safer, faster, and more precise. Dr. Patrick Yang, lead surgeon, called it revolutionary, especially for patients with dense cataracts. The machine uses less energy to break up cloudy lenses, reducing swelling and corneal damage, while its built-in pressure control system adds another layer of safety. Funded by community donations, this $145,000 investment targets the region’s aging population and positions the hospital to handle more surgeries — bringing top-tier tech right to the local community.
