Abstract:

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) is a new technology that has the potential to improve cataract surgery. Studies have shown that compared with phacoemulsification cataract extraction (PCS), FLACS greatly improves overall accuracy, predictability, and safety, minimizing intraocular manipulation time and damage to intraocular tissues. With the mastery of this technology, FLACS is gradually used in complex cataract patients such as: traumatic anterior capsular laceration, lens subluxation, small pupil, hard nucleus, etc., and has achieved very good clinical results and has received increasing attention.
