FDA-cleared
femtosecond laser platform that combines high-resolution imaging with automated laser delivery in a single surgical step. Rather than relying solely on handheld instruments, your surgeon uses ALLY to map your eye in real time and guide the laser through the most precise stages of the procedure.
How ALLY Differs from Traditional Cataract Surgery
In traditional cataract surgery, the surgeon manually creates the corneal incision, opens the lens capsule, and breaks up the cataract using ultrasound energy. ALLY automates each of these steps, using laser guidance instead of a handheld blade. The result is a level of consistency that’s difficult to match by hand alone, particularly for patients who also need astigmatism correction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ALLY available at every AVP•SEES location?
No. ALLY is offered at select AVP•SEES Group locations across our Virginia, Tennessee, and Alabama network. Confirm availability at your nearest location when scheduling.
Is ALLY cataract surgery covered by insurance?
Laser-assisted cataract surgery, including ALLY, is typically billed as a premium upgrade and is not covered by standard Medicare or most private insurance. Your care team can provide a transparent cost estimate before your procedure.
Is ALLY safe?
Yes. ALLY uses FDA-cleared laser technology designed to increase precision and reduce the amount of ultrasound energy needed during surgery, which may support a more comfortable recovery.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for ALLY?
A comprehensive eye exam and consultation with an AVP•SEES ophthalmologist will determine whether ALLY laser cataract surgery is right for your eyes, including whether you have astigmatism or are considering a premium lens.
