Watch the video to understand how this state-of-the-art technology is transforming cataract care in Nashik.
We are proud to announce that Netram Eye Hospital, Nashik, now offers cataract surgery using the Alcon Legion System — one of the world's most advanced phacoemulsification platforms. Dr. Kunal Nikale, our senior ophthalmologist, explains this technology in the video above, and what it means for patients seeking cataract care in Nashik.
What Is the Legion System?
The Legion System by Alcon is a next-generation cataract surgery machine that combines precision ultrasound energy with real-time sensing technology. It is designed to make cataract removal faster, safer, and more comfortable — with significantly less energy delivered to the eye compared to conventional phacoemulsification machines.
Key Features of the Legion System
- INTREPID Micro-Coaxial Platform: Allows surgery through a smaller incision — reducing trauma and speeding up recovery
- Active Fluidics Technology: Maintains stable eye pressure throughout surgery for a safer operating environment
- Ozil Torsional Ultrasound: Removes the cataract lens with a gentle side-to-side motion — less heat, less damage to surrounding tissues
- CENTURION Vision System Integration: Combines energy efficiency with advanced fluidics for superior surgical control
- Real-Time Sensing: The machine automatically adjusts to the density of the cataract for optimum performance
- Smaller Incision: Typically under 2.2 mm — means faster healing and lower risk of astigmatism after surgery
Benefits for Patients
- Shorter surgery time and faster visual recovery
- Reduced risk of complications due to lower ultrasound energy use
- Better safety for patients with hard or dense cataracts
- Minimal post-operative discomfort
- Most patients experience clear vision within 24–48 hours of surgery
- Suitable for all age groups including elderly patients
