Femtosecond cataract surgery not more cost-effective than conventional phaco
Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery was not more cost-effective than conventional phacoemulsification, according to an Australian study.Investigators conducted a retrospective cost-effectiveness analysis of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and phacoemulsification cataract surgery in a hypothetical cohort of patients. They converted visual acuity outcomes to utility values based on quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs).
