fs-Laser technology is unique because it allows very precise cutting inside the eye through optically transparent tissue, without a need for any mechanical openings. fs-Lasers were historically first used for refractive cornea surgery, later also for therapeutic cornea procedures and lens surgery. ...
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide, and advanced cataract techniques such as femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) have been commercially available. Corneal refractive surgery (CRS) is one of the most popular surgeries for the correction of refractive errors. CRS changes...
While lasers have been effective in eye surgeries for decades, they were not used for corneal transplants until the femtosecond laser was shown to be a superior cutting tool to the trephine, the cookie cutter-like knife currently used for transplants. “The advantage of this laser...
as femtosecond technology develops, these nomograms will require modification and this is currently being worked on.16 Docking the eye After the planning stage is complete, the patient's eye is docked into the laser platform in a method similar to that which is used in laser refractive surgery...
The patients were examined before lasik and at one, three and six months after surgery for visual outcomes and corneal haze. After one month, the researchers discovered that the patients experienced about 6 percent more corneal haze in the eye assigned to the femtosecond laser than in the one ...

The aim of this work is to compare the time of surgical phases and the cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) of the phacoemulsification phase in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and in standard surgical procedures of phacoemulsification (PCS). This prospective, non-randomized study an...
