Today, Hudson Regional Health’s Ophthalmology Medical Director, Dr. Brett Bielory, marked another milestone in eye care by performing Hudson County’s first-ever robotic laser cataract surgery at Secaucus University Hospital. Secaucus University Hospital is one of only a few healthcare facilities in New Jersey to offer the cutting-edge ALLY Robotic Cataract Laser System, bringing state-of-the-art laser cataract technology to patients in the region.
The technology utilized by HRH uses advanced imaging to analyze and map the eye before laser treatment. Once images of the eye are taken, the robotic technology computes and recommends a treatment plan, and assists Dr. Bielory’s team in executing it with robotic precision. The result is a highly personalized patient experience based on the unique features of the individual’s eye.
“Hudson Regional Health is proud to lead the way in bringing the latest advances in healthcare technology to Hudson County,” said CEO and President Dr. Nizar Kifaieh. “Our ophthalmology team at Secaucus University Hospital is second to none, combining exceptional expertise with advanced technology to provide patients with the highest level of personalized eye care.”
The new technology offered by ALLY reduces procedure times by up to 51 minutes by allowing the entire surgery to take place within a single sterile surgical environment. This streamlined approach creates a more efficient patient experience and facilitates a faster recovery. Other laser-assisted cataract surgery typically requires patients to be moved between treatment and operating rooms.
The milestone is part of HRH’s continued investment in advanced ophthalmology technology. In March, Dr. Bielory performed the first-ever cataract extraction with an intraocular lens implant at Secaucus University Hospital, replacing a cloudy natural lens of the eye with a new artificial lens.
