Improved Refractive Outcomes In Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS)

KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS

• Significantly more eyes achieved a target spherical equivalent refraction of ±0.50D, with Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) vs manual cataract surgery (MCS)¹⁶
• Significantly more patients achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) of 20/20 or better with FLACS (53.3%) vs MCS (28.1%)¹⁶
• Mean postoperative astigmatism was significantly lower with FLACS vs MCS¹⁶
• Refractive outcomes were superior with FLACS in this study using a single femto-second laser platform (LenSx^®, Alcon Inc., Fort Worth, TX) compared to MCS¹⁶
