IOP elevation not harmful in glaucoma patients undergoing femtosecond cataract surgery
PARIS — IOP elevation produced by suction during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is transient and has no negative effects in patients with glaucoma, according to a study. While several studies have been done on IOP elevation in young patients during femtosecond LASIK, data on femtosecond cataract in older people, with or without glaucoma, are lacking, Ianis Marcireau, MD, said at the meeting of the French Society of Ophthalmology.
