Increased vertical spacing reduces femtosecond laser capsulotomy irregularities
Increased vertical spacing of laser pulses and shallow incision depth reduced the rate of femtosecond anterior capsulotomy irregularities, according to a study.At the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting in San Diego, Wendell Scott, MD, showed that sub-1-second femtosecond laser capsulotomy with the Catalys Precision Laser System (Abbott Medical Optics) minimized the incidence of slivers, or tags, along the capsulotomy edge that can spur the formation of anterior capsule tears.
