Intracameral bleeding during femtolaser assisted cataract surgery: A case report
Anagha Heroor1, Vikram Vaidee1
1Anil Eye Hospital, Dombivli, India.
Purpose:
To report a case of anterior chamber bleeding that was noted post completion of laser during femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS).
Observations:
A 54 yr old woman with no ocular and systemic morbidity underwent Right Eye FLACS.Vacum loss was noted due to patient's eye movements. Suction and Docking was achieved at the 2nd attempt, following which laser treatment was uneventful. An intracameral bleed was noted superiorly extending towards center of the anterior chamber. Cataract surgery with IOL implantation was uneventful. Post-operative course was uneventful.
Conclusions And Importance:
This is the first report in literature of intracameral bleeding during FLACS. It is essential to proceed with caution in patients with repeated vacuum loss due to a higher risk of developing intraocular bleeds.
