RESULTS OF FEMTOSECOND LASER-ASSISTED CATARACT SURGERY WITH FEMTO LDV Z8 IN WHITE MATURE CATARACTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the results of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with femto LDV Z8 in white mature cataract. Patients and methods: This is a prospective, description study on 59 eyes of 59 patients with white mature cataract having undergone femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with femto LDV Z8 at Hong Son eye Hospital from August, 2022 to April, 2023. The variables included distance visual acuity (DVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), intra-operative and postoperative complications. Results: The male/female ratio in the study was approximately 1.27/1. The average age of the patients in the study was 64.29 ± 13.9 years old (oldest was 92 years old, youngest was 19 years old). After surgery and a 3-month follow-up period, no serious complications were detected such as vitreous hemorrhage, ablatino retinae, or cystoid macular edema. Other complications occurred at a very small rate: glaucoma 2/59 (3.4%), uveitis 1/59 (1.7%). All cases improved vision 1 week after surgery and had stable vision after 1 month. The average maximum corrected LogMAR visual acuity result 3 months after surgery is 0.19 ± 0.01 (Highest is 0.1 (20/25)). There were 2 cases of glaucoma 7 days after surgery (3.4%), the rest were within normal limits. Conclusion: Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with femto LDV Z8 in white mature cataracts is safe, effective with high success rate.
