Effect of Femtosecond Laser Fragmentation on Effective Phacoemulsification Time in Cataract Surgery

Abstract

The use of the femtosecond laser-assisted system in cataract surgery led to a lower EPT compared to the standard procedure.

Femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery versus standard phacoemulsification cataract surgery: Outcomes and safety in more than 4000 cases at a single center

“…1 Ultrashort-pulse femtosecond lasers operate at near infrared wavelengths and can be focused precisely at predetermined depths using advanced imaging technology to photodisrupt optically clear tissues while preventing collateral tissue damage. 2 The advantages of this technology over conventional phacoemulsification, including a more consistent capsulotomy and a significant reduction in phacoemulsification energy requirements, [3][4][5] have the potential to improve refractive outcomes.…”

Carbon footprint and cost–effectiveness of cataract surgery

“…The reported benefits of FLACS include increased precision and reproducibility of anterior capsulotomy and subsequently improved effective lens positioning [28][29][30], reduced ultrasound power requirement during phacoemulsification [28,[31][32][33] leading to a reduction in postoperative corneal endothelial cell loss [34], decreased collateral tissue damage [35], and better corneal wound architecture [33,36]. These reported advantages need to be validated by large-scale studies.…”

Szabadgyök-felszabadulás vizsgálata femtoszekundum lézerrel asszisztált capsulotomiát követően

“…Az FLC a cataractasebészetben ma már széles körben alkalmazott, közkedvelt eljárás. Az FLC segítségével pontosabb és egyszerűen reprodukálható capsulotomiás nyílás [2,3] készítése lehetsé-ges, csökken a műtét során felhasznált ultrahang-energia [4], illetve a posztoperatív szaruhártya- [5,6] és maculaoedema [7] kialakulásának valószínűsége. Ennek ellené-re az FLC intraocularis hatásai még többnyire ismeretlenek.…”
