Faridabad, October 22, 2026: Centre for Sight Faridabad today announced the launch of the FEMTO LDV Z8, an advanced Swiss femtosecond laser platform for cataract surgery and refractive vision correction, making the technology available in Faridabad for the first time.
Introduced through a mobile deployment, the FEMTO LDV Z8 brings advanced surgical technology to Faridabad, enabling patients to access modern laser-assisted cataract surgery and CLEAR (Corneal Lenticule Extraction for Advanced Refractive Correction), a flapless laser vision correction procedure.
With this launch, patients across Faridabad and surrounding areas of Delhi-NCR can access advanced laser-assisted eye care closer to home, reducing the need to travel to other cities for specialised technology-driven treatment.
Speaking about the significance of the technology, Prof. (Dr.) Mahipal S. Sachdev, Chairman and Medical Director, Centre for Sight Group of Eye Hospitals, said "Vision care is becoming increasingly important as the global burden of refractive errors continues to rise. Research estimates that by 2050, nearly 50% of the world's population could be myopic, highlighting the growing need for comprehensive eye care and advanced vision correction solutions. The introduction of the FEMTO LDV Z8 in Faridabad, supporting advanced laser cataract surgery and CLEAR flapless vision correction, is another important step in our journey of bringing modern eye care closer to communities. Our focus remains on combining advanced technology with clinical expertise to make precise and personalised eye care more accessible across India."
Mr. Shankar Narang, CEO, Centre for Sight Group of Eye Hospitals, said "At Centre for Sight, our focus is on making advanced eye care accessible beyond major metropolitan healthcare hubs. The introduction of the FEMTO LDV Z8 in Faridabad through our mobile technology initiative is another step towards this commitment. By bringing laser-assisted cataract surgery and CLEAR flapless vision correction closer to patients, we are expanding access to modern treatment options without compromising on clinical standards. As we continue to strengthen our presence across India, our priority remains to combine technological innovation, experienced medical professionals and patient-centric care to deliver quality eye care across communities."
Dr. Smita Kapoor, Cataract and Refractive Surgery Specialist, Centre for Sight Faridabad, said "With the FEMTO LDV Z8, we can now offer CLEAR, a flapless vision correction procedure that uses a small corneal incision to remove a precisely created lenticule and correct refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism in suitable patients. Its precision-focused laser technology supports personalised treatment planning based on individual corneal characteristics. The introduction of CLEAR in Faridabad adds another advanced option to Centre for Sight's comprehensive refractive surgery portfolio across Delhi-NCR."
Dr. Sujay Chauhan, Cataract, Glaucoma and Retina Specialist, Centre for Sight, said "Laser-assisted cataract surgery with the FEMTO LDV Z8 enables us to perform critical surgical steps, including corneal incisions, capsulotomy and lens fragmentation, with greater precision and control. The technology supports personalised surgical planning and complements the implantation of advanced intraocular lenses, including multifocal and toric lenses, for suitable patients. This advancement allows us to offer modern cataract surgery options tailored to individual eye conditions and visual requirements."
Dr. Shaily Gupta, Cataract Specialist, Centre for Sight Faridabad, said "The introduction of the FEMTO LDV Z8 in Faridabad brings advanced laser-assisted cataract surgery and CLEAR flapless vision correction closer to patients, strengthening access to precision-led eye care in the region."
Developed by Switzerland-based Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems, the FEMTO LDV Z8 combines low-energy femtosecond laser technology, integrated imaging and precise surgical planning to enhance ophthalmic procedures. In cataract surgery, it supports precise corneal incisions, capsulotomy and lens fragmentation, complementing advanced intraocular lenses for personalised treatment. The platform also enables CLEAR (Corneal Lenticule Extraction for Advanced Refractive Correction), a flapless laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea by removing a precisely created lenticule through a small incision. Suitable patients may benefit from this minimally invasive approach to correcting myopia and certain cases of astigmatism, following comprehensive eye evaluation.
Centre for Sight continues to advance refractive surgery across Delhi-NCR through technologies including InnovEyes, Contoura Vision, SILK and SMILE. The FEMTO LDV Z8 in Faridabad strengthens these capabilities, offering laser-assisted cataract surgery and CLEAR flapless vision correction, alongside comprehensive eye care across multiple ophthalmic specialities.
