TitreIs femtosecond laser pushing the boundaries in refractive lens surgery?
ButEvaluation of the different femtosecond procedures and clinical outcomes on a single laser platform.
MéthodesThe Victus femtosecond laser (Bausch+Lomb/Technolas Perfect Vision, Munich, Germany) has been designed to perform the key steps in the cataract surgery procedure (lens emulsification, capsulotomy and corneal incision), an intrastromal procedure for presbyopia, LASIK flaps, corneal procedures penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and lamellar keratoplasty (LKP), femtosecond-laser assisted endothelial keratoplasty (FLEK), tunnels for corneal ring implantation along with arcuate cuts for astigmatic keratotomy. The clinical outcomes of performing the different procedures with the femtosecond laser will be assessed.
RésultatsExperience with this femtosecond laser system has demonstrated that it is capable of delivering a wide range of procedures including predictable LASIK flap making capabilities and the intrastromal treatment of presbyopia. Early clinical experience using the new laser refractive cataract surgery procedure indicates the laser produced more predictable, circular and reproducible capsulotomies than manual. The phaco energy may also be reduced when fragmentation is done with the femtosecond laser versus manually.
ConclusionThis single femtosecond laser platform is able to safely perform multiple procedures, with the potential to provide more accurate and reproducible clinical outcomes. Financial Disclosure:
