Purpose:
The purpose of this case report is to describe the utility of portable femtosecond laser platform in a child with bilateral isolated microspherophakia and ectopia lentis performed under general anesthesia.
Observation:
An appropriately sized and well centered capsulotomy with well centered PCIOL could be achieved in both eyes of the patient.
Conclusion & Importance:
The advent of mobile femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery might prove a useful and convenient platform for surgeries in pediatric patients with subluxated cataracts even under general anesthesia. It may circumvent the need for an additional laser suite and reduce surgical time by eliminating the need for patient movement.
