Precision pulse capsulotomy was found in a study to be as safe as manually performed continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis in terms of endothelial cell density and other metrics of endothelial cell condition.
Cataract surgery is normally associated with a 5% to 20% loss of endothelial cells at 1 to 3 months after surgery, mainly associated with the use of ultrasound energy. While this amount of cell loss does not cause problems for the patient, a greater loss could lead to corneal decompensation.
The aim of the study was to investigate whether (Read more...)
