Application of Corvis ST to evaluate the effect of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery on corneal biomechanics

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and phacoemulsification on corneal biomechanics using corneal visualization Scheimpflug technology. The medical records of 50 eyes from 50 patients who received phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation because of age-related factors between June 2014 and September 2014 we...

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery provides surgeons an exciting new option to potentially improve patient outcomes and safety. Over the past 2 years, 4 unique laser platforms have been introduced into the marketplace. The introduction of this new technology has been accompanied by a host of new clinical, logistical, and financial challenges for surgeons. This article describes the evo...

Effect of femtosecond laser cataract surgery on the macula.

PURPOSE To compare the effect of conventional and femtosecond laser-assisted (Alcon LenSx Inc) phacoemulsification on the macula using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Twenty eyes of 20 patients underwent uneventful cataract surgery in both study groups: femtosecond laser-assisted (laser group) and conventional phacoemulsification (control group). Macular thickness and volume were ...

The effect of femtosecond laser assisted capsulotomies on the results of cataract surgery PhD thesis

The Advantages of Femtosecond Laser-assisted Cataract Surgery.

PURPOSE To present the advantages of performing femtosecond laser-assisted (Alcon-LenSx Inc.) cataract surgery. METHODS Cataract surgery was performed with the LenSx femtosecond laser (Alcon-LenSx Inc.) in 50 eyes of 50 patients. The laser was programmed to perform a 4,9-4,5 mm capsulorhexis, a 2,3 mm main corneal incision, two 1,3 mm side-port incisions and either a hybrid-pattern or a cylin...
