Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery and Its Learning Curve
Narrative Responses:
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of femtosecond cataract surgery
Methods
379 eyes of 202 patients were consecutively treated with the Victus femtosecond laser surgery platform to perform continous circular capsulorhexis and to fragmentate the crystalline lens.
Results
In 379 consecutive eyes treated with the Victus femtosecond laser surgery platform no posterior capsule rupture was enountered. In all cases the capsulorhexis was completed and in 92% were free floating. All implanted IOLs were covered 360° with anterior capsule.
Conclusion
The Victus femtosecond laser surgery platform was extremely successful in creating free floating anterior capsules and to fragmentate the nucleus. No posterior capsule tears were created in 379 consecutive eyes.
