OCT identifies architectural differences of incisions

An OCT study showed significant differences in the architecture of clear corneal incisions performed with femtosecond laser vs. a steel bevel knife, mostly in favor of the laser technique.
A study group of 58 eyes of 40 patients underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) using the LenSx laser (Alcon Laboratories) to achieve a two-plane CCI with a partial lamellar cut positioned parallel to the collagen lamellae, while a control group of 34 eyes of 26 patients underwent traditional manual CCI using a 2.2-mm single-bevel steel knife (Alcon Laboratories) to perform (Read more...)
