研究目的
To review FLACS technology and outcomes, including detailed analysis of safety, efficacy, cost?effectiveness, and future prospects using data from the literature and our own published clinical experience.
研究成果
There remain some concluding questions regarding the reduction in EPT, the possible detrimental impact of utilizing FLACS for corneal incisions, the overpriced technology, and whether we should still be offering FLACS. For individual patients, there may be benefit (real or perceived) and patients need to make an informed decision that best serves their needs.
研究不足
The assessment of FLACS’s perceived benefits has proven to be far more complicated than initially might have been thought. Most studies to date have not provided validation of FLACS technology as a clinically significant advancement on our current techniques.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A PubMed search for all publications relating to FLACS using the search term 'femtosecond cataract surgery' was conducted without any date restrictions.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Of the initial 584 articles found, 144 were considered relevant for the purposes of this review after careful study of all titles and abstracts.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Femtosecond laser systems such as the LenSx system, Catalys precision laser system, Lensar system, Victus system, and Femto LDV Z8 were mentioned.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The authors rated the articles according to relevance, scientific merit, and introduction of new knowledge, with particular focus on those articles providing direct comparison between FLACS and PCS.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Ultimately, 98 articles considered by the authors most relevant to this review have been included.
