“…9 The capsular openings created in FLACS have increased strength and rupture force compared with those in manual capsulorhexis in cadaveric eyes. 2,[10][11][12] This may reduce the incidence of intraoperative tears to the capsular bag, a source of complications in cataract surgery. Initial data on FLACS suggest an incidence of anterior tears of 0.2 %.…”

“…2,11,12,19 The unpredictable diameter observed in manual capsulorhexis may lead to an irregularly shaped capsulotomy and influence the position of the implanted IOL, which may cause a decrease in visual quality. 20 Capsulotomies created during FLACS were more regularly shaped than those in manual capsulorhexes, with better centration, and better IOL/capsule overlap compared with manual capsulorhexes.…”

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide. Between 2000 and 2020, the number of people aged 65 or over is projected to increase from 425 million to 677 million worldwide.1 This is likely to be accompanied by a corresponding increase in the incidence of cataracts and it has been estimated that by 2020, 32 million cataract surgeries will be performed annually (see Figure 1).

“…In the United States of America, for example, more than 3 million surgeries are performed per year, and the benefits conferred on operated patients are remarkable. (1) In Brazil it is estimated that there are about 550,000 new cases per year. (2) Despite the significant advances in the surgical technique in the last four decades, the main steps of surgery depend on the surgeon's manual ability.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar a eficácia de um novo marcador cirúrgico para ajudar na confecção da capsulorrexe anterior analisando o seu dimensionamento e formato, comparando com a capsulorrexe confeccionada manualmente de maneira livre. Métodos: Como experimento, 3 residentes (R3) de Oftalmologia do Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes (HUOL) e 1 oftalmologista em treinamento, voluntários, realizaram (cada um) 10 capsulorrexes em olhos de porco enucleados. Em 5 olhos foi utilizado o marcador e em outros 5, não. Todos os olhos foram fotografados tendo ao lado uma régua para orientar e calibrar um aplicativo para a avaliação morfométrica do procedimento. O diâmetro alvo foi de 5 mm, cujo perímetro correspondente é 15,7 mm e a área 19,652 mm 2 . Foram avaliados em cada procedimento: os diâmetros máximo, mínimo e médio, o perímetro, a área e o desvio em relação ao diâmetro e quanto ao aspecto ideal. Resultados: No grupo utilizando o marcador o diâmetro médio foi 5,44mm (±0,89) contra 6,37mm (±0,67) (p=0,001), no grupo no qual não se utilizou o marcador; quanto ao perímetro, 17,52mm (±1,92) no grupo utilizando o marcador contra 20,14mm (±2,09) (p<0,001) sem o marcador e quanto a área, 24,73mm 2 (±1,92) com o marcador, contra 32,62mm 2 (±6,32) (p<0,001), sem o marcador. Em relação ao aspecto da capsulorrexe 1,26mm (±0,12), contra 1,21mm (±0,7) (p=0,09) e em relação ao desvio de curvatura: 0,87 (±0,05), contra 0,9 (±0,04), (p=0,06) respectivamente. Conclusão: O trabalho mostrou que o marcador avaliado é eficaz para auxiliar a confecção da capsulorrexe conduzindo a resultados melhores que o método a mão livre.Descritores: Capsulorrexe / instrumentação; Extração de catarata / instrumentação; Lasers

Femtosecond laser capsulotomy

Abstract: The femtosecond laser produced capsulotomies that were more precise, accurate, reproducible, and stronger than those created with the conventional manual technique.
