Change of Capsulotomy Over 1 Year in Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery and Its Impact on Visual Quality
2017
Overview
To compare the shape of the capsulotomy, its change, and its impact on visual quality over 1 year using the femtosecond laser system from the manual technique.
In this two-center cross-sectional study from May 2012 to June 2013, each patient had femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in one eye (FLACS group) and conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery in the other eye (CPCS group). An evaluation of the capsulotomy was performed using retroillumination slit-lamp photographs at 7 days, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. Effective lens position (ELP), refractive error, and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) were analyzed.
Thirty-three patients were included in the study. Diameters of capsulorhexis were more precise and deviation surfaces were lower in the FLACS group than in the CPCS group at each evaluation (P < .05). Femtosecond laser capsulotomies were less modified over time than manual continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. No significant differences were observed for CDVA, refractive error, and ELP between groups.
More precise capsulotomy sizing can be achieved with the femtosecond laser compared to continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. Femtosecond laser capsulotomies are less modified over time but did not improve ELP or visual quality. [J Refract Surg. 2017;33(1):44-49].
