Clinical Leadership Meets Practice Growth
The CATALYSTM Precision Laser System is specifically engineered to meet your current challenges while priming your practice for the future of cataract surgery. By delivering a purpose-driven combination of outstanding clinical outcomes, immediate practice integration and a premium patient experience, it empowers you to seamlessly elevate your practice today — and seize the opportunities of tomorrow.
The CATALYSTM System is designed for a high standard of clinical precision. It delivers complete capsulotomies and excellent fragmentation so you can give your patients reliably outstanding results.
- Demonstrated high rate of complete 360˚ capsulotomies1
- Multiple centration types — including the scanned capsule for effective positioning2
- Complete softening and segmentation3
- High-quality fragmentation, even in dense cataracts*4
Highly precise, personalized incisions allow you to tailor each procedure to your patients’ unique ocular anatomy for outstanding outcomes
- Wide, side-cut angle (anterior) range of 30 – 150˚ for anterior penetrating and intrastromal incisions5
- Incredible flexibility in incision type and depth for arcuate incisions5
Flexible incision options allow for more personalized and precise surgical procedures.5
Anterior Penetrating Incisions
Intrastromal Incisions
The true non-applanating LIQUID OPTICS Patient Interface does not produce corneal endothelial folds, resulting in outstanding incisions.6
The CATALYSTM System’s full-volume, 3D, high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging and INTEGRAL GUIDANCE Technology work together to help you deliver optimal, precise treatment.
- Identifies anterior cornea, posterior cornea, iris, anterior lens and posterior lens to guide laser delivery5
- Refreshes at 0.5 – 2.0 Hz for uninterrupted visualization of the eye throughout treatment5
- Generates accurate pictures of the anterior chamber using 3D OCT imaging data5

The CATALYSTM System can help you elevate your practice by driving growth through increased volume and premium conversion.
- Attract more patients to your practice7
- Convert more patients to premium procedures and IOLs7,8
- Treat more patients7
The CATALYSTM System is designed to fit into your practice with minimal disruption, offering an intuitive and streamlined workflow from start to finish.
- Facilitates quick, single-screen planning with a touchscreen GUI and on-screen keyboard5
- Allows fast, efficient surgical planning and customization5,9
- Guided three-step LOI docking process automatically reduces forces on the eye during treatment5
- Convenience of automated tools with adaptability and control when needed
