Improved Refractive Outcomes in Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS)
The LenSx Laser System is a femtosecond laser platform designed to improve refractive outcomes in cataract surgery. A recent retrospective study compared the 1-month postoperative refractive outcomes of 225 eyes that underwent elective FLACS and 231 eyes that underwent manual cataract surgery (MCS).
Key Findings:
Significantly more eyes achieved a target spherical equivalent refraction of ±0.50D with FLACS (94.2%) vs MCS (83.1%).
Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) of 20/20 or better was achieved by 53.3% of FLACS patients vs 28.1% of MCS patients.
Mean postoperative astigmatism was significantly lower with FLACS (0.32D) vs MCS (0.65D).
The study suggests that FLACS may result in better refractive outcomes due to improved capsulorhexis centration, capsulorhexis consistency, and uniform wound construction.
