Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Intraocular Lens Fragmentation: Low Energy Transection

J Refract Surg. 2017 Sep 1;33(9):646-648. doi: 10.3928/1081597X-20170721-02.

Abstract

Purpose: To describe a case of femtosecond laser-assisted hydrophobic intraocular lens transection.

Methods: Case report.

Results: Femtosecond laser-assisted transection of a one-piece acrylic hydrophobic intraocular lens for explantation via a small surgical incision was successfully performed with low energy parameters.

Conclusions: This case illustrates a novel and effective clinical application of the femtosecond laser. [J Refract Surg. 2017;33(9):646-648.].
