OCT-based scanned capsule centration helps achieve 360° overlap

OCT-based scanned capsule centration for femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery provided better overlap between the IOL and lens capsule than pupil centration with a three-piece IOL, according to a study.The prospective, randomized clinical trial included 160 patients who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. The patients were split into four groups: OCT-based scanned capsule centration (SCC) with three-piece IOL; SCC with plate-haptic IOL; pupil centration (PC) with three-piece IOL; or PC with plate-haptic IOL. Each of the four treatment groups included 40 patients, and there were no significant differences in ages.
