Comparison of Phacoemulsification and Corneal Damage Between FLACS and Standard Phaco With Two Handpieces
Cataract | Astigmatism | Corneal Endothelial Cell LossThe main goal of this study is to compare traditional cataract surgery with two new technologies: the femtosecond laser and the new Active Sentry handpiece.
The femtosecond laser is used in several fields of ophthalmology and allows to automate multiple key steps of cataract surgery.
The new generation of handpiece called Active Sentry has the particularity to detect the pressure inside the eye in real time and to adjust it to avoid large variations.
Theses technologies would potentially increase the efficacy and safety of standard cataract surgery. This study therefore aims at evaluating the differences in cumulative dissipated energy and endothelial cell loss between femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery with the new Active Sentry handpiece compared to standard phaco with new (Active Sentry) or older handpieces (OZil).
