研究目的
To determine the efficacy of the femtosecond laser with integrated anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) for the detection of posterior capsular dehiscence in posterior polar cataracts (PPCs) and to evaluate the safety of phacoemulsification in these eyes undergoing femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery (FLACS).
研究成果
Femtosecond laser with integrated AS-OCT is a relevant and helpful tool to detect and increase the safety in preexisting posterior capsular dehiscence, alerting the surgeon ahead of phacoemulsification.
研究不足
The study was limited to eyes with PPCs and did not include eyes with preexisting corneal or media opacities interfering with imaging and laser penetration, inadequate phar-macomydriasis for an adequately sized capsulotomy of 5.0 mm, and subluxated or traumatic cataracts.
