Low-energy FLACS induces prostaglandin increase

Low-energy femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery induced significantly higher levels of prostaglandin E2 during surgery than conventional phacoemulsification, according to a study.
Furthermore, in eyes pretreated with NSAIDs before FLACS, prostaglandin levels were significantly less perioperatively than in eyes that did not undergo pretreatment. However, the difference was not statistically significant between the two postoperatively.
“The use of topical NSAIDs with a low-energy femtosecond laser reduced prostaglandins levels to the same as in the conventional group. This is not the
