研究目的
To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of the cetus nanolaser system with the redesigned handpiece and the centurion Vision system in patients with a cataract classified as harder than LOCS III grade 3.
研究成果
Harder cataracts should no longer be considered a limitation for the use of nanosecond laser in cataract surgery. Further studies are required to determine if the reduced quantity of energy emitted within eyes during surgery when using a nanolaser system compared with an ultrasound system will effectively improve long-term outcome in harder cataracts.
研究不足
The study did not enroll enough patients to evaluate the incidence of complications. The short follow-up time is another limitation. A multicenter study with a larger number of subjects and longer follow-up is required to confirm the results.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A case series of 17 consecutive patients with cataracts harder than LOCS III grade 3 underwent nanolaser cataract surgery. The procedure included administration of topical or local anesthesia, capsulorhexis, hydrodissection, cataract removal with a nanosecond laser, cortical cleanup, intraocular lens implantation, and clear corneal incision closure with physiological solution.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Patients with age-related cataract, primary hyperopia, or hyperopic astigmatism who presented a normal ophthalmologic examination except senile cataract.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Cetus nanolaser system (ARC Laser, Nürnberg, Germany), Centurion Vision system (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX), Eyesys unit (version
4:03, Eyesys technologies), noncontact specular microscope (Noncon Robo, Konan Medical). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Standardized bimanual cataract extraction procedure with the nanolaser system.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Fisher exact test was used to compare the results with an expected conversion rate to ultrasound phacoemulsification of 100%.
