Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery may alter aqueous humor pH values

Researchers found an acidic shift in aqueous humor pH values during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery due to cavitation bubbles produced during the procedure.The researchers prospectively compared aqueous humor pH values in 29 patients randomized to femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with the Catalys platform (Abbott Medical Optics) or conventional phacoemulsification.
