Femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification of hypermature cataract in patients with lens subluxation

FLACS vs conventional phacoemulsification by junior cataract surgeons: randomized trial

“…[3][4][5] FLACS is shown to be advantageous to surgeons in several challenging cataract situations, such as posterior polar cataracts, dense cataracts, shallow anterior chamber (AC) white cataracts, and zonular weakness. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] On the other hand, there is a lack of evidence regarding the additional benefits of this technology when compared with PE, especially in standard cataract surgery. Some studies have reported a reduction in ultrasound energy consumption, corneal endothelial cell loss (ECL), and postoperative corneal thickening during FLACS.…”
