Could femtosecond laser technology encourage more cataract surgeons to perform primary posterior capsulotomy and optic capture?
PointYes, as far as primary posterior laser capsulotomy (PPLC) is concerned. By doing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with standard in-the-bag implantation, 3-D spectral-domain OCT has shown us how wide Berger’s space is after cataract surgery. First, because there is fluid movement through the zonules behind the posterior capsule, balanced salt solution and fluid are turning all round. Second, because the patient is in the supine position, gravitation and partially liquefied vitreous widen the space. Third, because the crystalline lens is removed and even with an IOL in place, there is (Read more...)
