Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery 2017. Mean follow-up was 6 months. The French FEMCAT Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery trial 15 and a UK trial of 400 eyes that found similar visual outcomes between arms and a statistically significantly lower posterior capsule tear rate in the laser arm. The combination of femtosecond laser surgery and OCT imaging simultaneously guides the development of next-generation femtosecond surgical lasers in cataract surgery and explores femtosecond-laser surgical strategies.

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery FLACS a new technology that was firstly introduced in 2008 has shown promising treatment outcomes. Although it may allow for greater efficiency and decreased postoperative complications further research is needed into longterm safety aspects such as corneal endothelial cell loss.

Femtosecond laser-assisted anterior capsuloto.

Comment on Indian J Ophthalmol. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery promised the theoretical benefits of more precise surgical incisions greater reproducibility of surgery and increased safety both in terms of successful uniform capsulotomies with better intraocular lens IOL centration and decreased collateral damage to the cornea and the posterior capsule. This Spotlight explains the principle of OCT-guided femtosecond laser cataract surgery. Femtosecond laserassisted cataract surgery appears to be as safe as conventional cataract surgery in the short term and results in significantly lower effective phacoemulsification time. Although it may allow for greater efficiency and decreased postoperative complications further research is needed into longterm safety aspects such as corneal endothelial cell loss. Literature data suggests that femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy is more accurate in size shape and centration than manual.
