[IS THERE ANY ADVANTAGE IN CATARACT EXTRACTION ASSISTED WITH LASER?]

Cataract surgery is one of the most performed surgeries worldwide. Cataract extraction and intra-ocular lens artificial implantation have made a revolution in the past years mainly due to advanced surgical techniques, usage of protecting viscoelastic agents that protect the cornea and anterior chamber, improved design and material of the implanted folded artificial lens, special lenses including toric and multifocal lenses and development of advanced formulas and calculators for predicated IOL power calculation. Recently, femtosecond laser was introduced to cataract surgery, replacing several manual steps of the surgery. The laser was suggested to improve accuracy, safety and refraction results of the surgery. In this article, we will review the literature and investigated the above claims.
