“…Classically performed in a manual (blade) manner, keratotomy with FS technology shows higher predictability and repeatability, adding the possibility of completely intrastromal incisions beyond the standard anterior penetration. 56 These designated arcuate incisions (AIs) can be performed by the FS laser at the surgeon’s predetermined depth, length, location and treatment axis; additionally, anterior penetrating AIs can be opened up manually intraoperatively or post-operatively to enhance the effect. 57 , 58 Femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) is associated to less irritation, epithelial ingrowth or loss of corneal sensation, beyond diminishing the risk of infection for patients; 59 thus, it can be safely used in patients with ocular surface disease or after keratoplasty.…”

The advent of femtosecond lasers has resulted in a new standard in cataract surgery, intended to overmatch the paradigm of conventional phacoemulsification. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) enables a higher level of reproducibility, precision, accuracy, and customization when performing several steps of cataract (or lens) surgery. Capsulotomy, corneal incisions, lens fragmentation, and arcuate incisions are the main procedures performed using FLACS. As the demand for better refractive outcomes and spectacle independence increases, the features of FLACS are highly relevant, especially when considering the implantation of premium intraocular lenses, such as toric, enhanced depth-of-focus, or multifocal lenses. The present article reviews the state of the art of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract (lens) surgery, contemplating the advantages and limitations of the two types of femtosecond laser pulses available (high and low energy) by evaluating their reported outcomes and complications.
