“…Just like Australian patients’ free to extra FLACS costs, as the benefits of FLACS are proved, more and more insurance systems are thinking about covering these costs and then the cost considerations will mitigate. [ 18 , 19 ] As CPS gradually replaced extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), costs may decrease with the improvement and matureness of the technology. [ 19 , 50 ] And the wide adoption can amortize the capital costs.…”

“…The application of FSL in cataract surgery may be one of the biggest revolutions in the field of cataract in the latest several years. Some researchers proposed FSL has the potential to offer significant advantages over conventional phacoemulsification (CP) and will be the standard method of cataract surgery in ten years 12 . The major advantage of FSL-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) is the reduction of phacoemulsification energy required in the surgery.…”

“…What is less clear is whether or not FLACS will become the dominant mode of cataract surgery in the future. The debate can be framed from a technical standpoint; does FLACS result in a measurably better surgery, with better results [8,9]? Current studies show some theoretical advantages in terms of the circularity of the capsulorrhexis, predictability of the effective lens position calculation, decreased total ultrasound energy with resultant decreased endothelial cell injury, and reproducibility of corneal incisions including peripheral corneal relaxing incisions [10,11].…”
