Femtosecond and manual cataract surgeries have similar outcomes

Eyes that underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery achieved similar visual and refractive outcomes when compared with eyes that underwent manual cataract surgery.
Researchers compared femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) with manual cataract surgery in a single-center, comparative, retrospective cohort analysis. The percentage of eyes that achieved absolute error of 0.5 D or less was the primary outcome measure. The study included 883 eyes in the manual group and 955 eyes in the FLACS group.
After adjustment for potential confounders, 82.6% of eyes that underwent
