“…This effectively allows the laser to cut through tissue with micrometer accuracy and to cause minimal collateral tissue damage. 26 A study by Friedman had reported that the DDC was 29 ± 26 mm in femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy and 337 ± 258 mm for the manual CCC; the accuracy of the former was nearly 10 times larger than the latter. 27 Nevertheless, in this study, the DDC was 0.16 ± 0.01 mm, which was wider than the DDC reported by Friedman (29 ± 26 mm), which may be because the age of the participants was different (the age of participants ranging from 55 to 80 years in the study by Friedman).…”

“…[ 34 ] PCR in soft cataracts during FLACS occurred most often during cortical aspiration. During anterior capsulotomy—cylindrical cuts starting from below the surface of the anterior capsule and continuing through the capsule a few microns into the anterior chamber[ 35 ]—the laser not only cuts the capsule but also cuts the cortex. This creates a flush edge of the cortex fused to the capsule.…”

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) versus conventional phacoemulsification (CP) in terms of refractive outcomes, cumulative dissipated energy, and intraoperative complications. Methods: In this retrospective study performed in a tertiary care ophthalmic hospital, we reviewed 2124 eyes that underwent FLACS or CP. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), and intraoperative complications were analyzed in the study. Results: Out of 2124 eyes, 873 underwent FLACS and 1251 underwent CP. The postoperative mean UCVA after one month was 0.05 ± 0.11 logMAR and 0.14 ± 0.23 logMAR for FLACS and CP, respectively ( P < 0.00001). Mean CDVA one month post operation was 0.02 ± 0.07 logMAR and 0.06 ± 0.19 logMAR for FLACS and CP, respectively ( P < 0.0001). The CDE for the FLACS group was 6.17 ± 3.86 ( P < 0.00001) and it was 9.74 ± 6.02 for the CP group. The intraoperative complication for the FLACS group was 1.60% and the CP group was 2.39% ( P < 0.00001). Conclusion: The visual outcomes were better in FLACS compared to CP. The CDE was lower for the FLACS group and FLACS had significantly less intraoperative complications.

“…Similarly, the other noted utility of ASOCT, in combination with a femtosecond laser, is that it can provide greater anatomical detail of the tissues, which was previously often thought to be difficult. The real-time in vivo changes along the lens, 8 , 9 laser dissection depths and paths, 10 laser parameter variations with lens thickness and density, 11 identification of Berger space, laser capsulotomy details 12 , 13 and others have been observed more pragmatically until now. 14 Thus, these constructive observations broaden the scope of ASOCT in lenticular diseases.…”

Modern-day cataract surgery has achieved equivalence with refractive surgery, thus requiring surgeons to perform all possible pre-emptive exercises to mitigate intraoperative complications. In this direction, we possess a tremendous amount of technology to understand the preoperative status of the lens. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) is one such tool, which has played a distinctive role in imaging various forms of cataracts. In this review, we critically analyse the practical role of ASOCT in the preoperative and intraoperative periods from a cataract surgeon’s perspective. After a thorough literature assessment, it was substantiated that the cross-sectional imaging ability of ASOCT can demonstrate delicate anatomical and pathological lenticular changes in a visually and clinically comprehensible way. The objective grading of immature cataracts to intralenticular and posterior capsular details in mature/white, posterior polar, traumatic and other forms of cataracts paves the way for various practical innovations as and when required. Hence, preoperative more than intraoperative ASOCT-derived lenticular knowledge is of immense help in careful surgical planning, with improved complication rates.
