Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in a patient with traumatic cataract and corneal opacity after LASIK: a case report

Abstract: Background: Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) has been reported to reduce phacoemulsification time and energy compared to the manual phacoemulsification technique. This technique has been used in several complex cases such as zonular weakness, subluxated lens and traumatic cataracts because it causes less damage to weakened zonules. However, corneal opacity is considered a relative contraindication to FLACS, as it may interfere with laser beam delivery, thus causing unpredictable capsulorhexi… Show more

“…Because of these advantages, capsulorhexis assisted by a femtosecond laser is even more critical for premium IOLs. Presently, femtosecond laser surgery is also used in mature, traumatic, and for other cataract patients with suspensory ligament abnormalities [22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…To date, there has been no clinical research analyzing the refractive and safety outcomes of FLACS after CRS. Only a few case reports suggested the benefit of FLACS in patients with a previous history of CRS 13 , 14 . This study aimed to evaluate the effect and safety of FLACS after CRS comparing with conventional PCS.…”
