Morphological changes of corneal incision in femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification

Abstract

AIM: To observe the morphology of corneal incision between femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery(FLACS)with 2.4mm micro-incision and conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery(CPCS)with 2.4mm micro-incision, evaluating the safety and stability of the incision.METHODS: This was a prospective controlled study. A total of 89 cataract patients(99 eyes)who underwent cataract surgery were collected. All patients were divided into two groups: 44 cases(49 eyes)in FLACS group and 45 cases(50 eyes)in CPCS group. Morphology of clear corneal incision was observed by OCTA postoperative.RESULTS: There was no external wound dehiscence in FLACS group on 1d postoperative, while 10% patients had external wound dehiscence in CPCS group(PPCONCLUSION: Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery(FLACS)is benefit for wound closure and reducing abnormal incision construction.
