Laser-assisted cataract surgery

Abstract

The FSL may significantly change the current approach to cataract surgery.

Femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery—current status and future directions

“…11 Hatch et al recently illustrated the potential advantages of FLACS in brunescent cataracts, Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, pseudoexfoliation or those with a history of trauma; 83 however, additional studies are awaited to establish a definitive advantage.…”

“…83 Other contraindications include as central corneal scarring in the area of the laser delivery zone, non-transparent corneal inlays (There has been a case report of use in a transparent inlay 135 ) and corneal bullae.…”

Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery: Updates on Technologies and Outcomes

“…1 Recently, it was reported that the best-case scenario of femtosecond laser cataract surgery with excellent visual outcomes (100%), a significant reduction in complications (0%), and a significantly reduced cost to patient (of $300) would result in reasonable incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. 28 From the point of view of ophthalmology practice, the learning curve is short and intraoperative complications can be avoided, 3 especially for difficult cases of Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy, pseudoexfoliation, brunescent cataracts, 29 and trauma. 30 The flexibility, real-time intraoperative visualization, and ease of use ensure rapid progress in practice.…”

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery: Review

“…9 Etkili lens pozisyonu (ELP), özellikle multifokal GİL'ler için çok önemli olup, bu grupta reksisin büyüklüğü ve konumu özellikle önem arz etmektedir. 10,11 Mihalltz ve ark., FSL ile uygulanan kapsüloto-mili gözleri manuel yöntemle karşılaştırdığında, internal aberasyonların lazer grubunda daha az olduğunu ve optik kalite açısından daha avantajlı olduğunu göstermişlerdir. 12 Dick ve Schultz, lazer sistemi kullanarak yaptıkları çalışmada, son ELP'nin lazer sistemi ile hemen elde edilebildiğini ve daha ön görülebilir refraktif sonuçlara ulaşıldığını göstermişlerdir.…”
