Femtolaser Cataract Surgery
FEDERICA GUALDISynopsis
In recent years, the new concept of refractive cataract surgery has been outlined, whereas the quality as well as the quantity of sight is considered. In ophthalmology, just as in general medicine, robotic surgery is gaining field with excellent results. In fact, digital surgery represents, the last technological step to the highest precision and quality thanks to the application of femtosecond technology in cataract surgery. The purpose of this textbook is to describe the femtosecond laser surgery for cataract; to explain the treatment and underline the benefits of this type of digital computerized surgery, and to compare it with the traditional phacoemulsification, which represents the current gold standard. The authors, as pioneers of this surgical technique, are going to share their personal experience, giving advice for a successful surgery.

Key Features
Cataract Surgery has seen incredible changes in the last 100 years. Femtosecond Laser-assisted Cataract Surgery is the latest innovation in the field of Anterior Segment Surgery, a technique that allows surgeons to achieve amazing refractive results.
This textbook is addressed to all Surgeons, Phacoemulsification Experts and young Ophthalmologists, as a guide to the new experiene with Femto-cataract. The first part will explain how we went from Reclinatio, through ICCE, ECCE and Phacoemulsification, to Femto-cataract surgery, the physics of the Femtosecond Laser and the environment of Femto-cataract Laser.
LenSx (Alcon), Victus (Bausch & Lomb), Lens AR (Topcon), Catalys (Abbott) and LDV Z8 (Ziemer) are the Femto-cataract Lasers actually in commerce. The authors, pioneers of the technique, will share their knowledge and experience, describing tricks for the learning curve, complicated cases and showing general advantages and disadvantages of the technique.
