Abstract: Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) with conventional cataract surgery (CCS). Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Design: Meta-analysis. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were systematically searched for studies comparing FLACS and CCS. Outc… Show more

“…A study using these lenses with longer term follow up would help address this question. A recent meta-analysis and commentary 36,37 reported a clinically but not statistically significant lower rate of posterior capsule rupture with LACS, which would also benefit refractive outcome since IOL position is less predictable in these cases.…”

“…12 The recent meta-analysis stated that there were distinct advantages of FLACS regarding surgical endpoints with regards to better capsulotomy circularity. 8 The circularity did not result in better long-term vision though. Furthermore, having less capsular shrinkage post FLACS may not have made a lasting difference to vision in the past but may do so in the future.…”

“…Visual and refractive results are the most important endpoints for patient satisfaction. 8 Three prospective randomized controlled studies found that there was no long-term visual advantage when using FLACS. 6,7,9 The latest metaanalysis published in 2020 showed that subgroup analysis of RCTs pointed to better uncorrected distance visual acuity in the FLACS group in the medium term (six months), but there was no difference in visual outcome in the long term of 6 months or more.…”
