Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) versus conventional phacoemulsification (CP) in terms of refractive outcomes, cumulative dissipated energy, and intraoperative complications.

Methods: In this retrospective study performed in a tertiary care ophthalmic hospital, we reviewed 2124 eyes that underwent FLACS or CP. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), and intraoperative complications were analyzed in the study.

Background: Cataract surgeries are challenging in colobomatous eyes as they are associated with features such as microphthalmia, microcornea, zonular deficit, etc. These factors predispose to capsulorhexis extension, posterior capsular rent, zonular dialysis and result in unfavourable visual outcomes. The most critical step of cataract surgery in such cases is the capsulorhexis as the chances of extension are high in the colobomatous area.

Powder layering technique was evaluated using laboratory scale centrifugal granulator instrument to prepare extended release pellet dosage form of ketoprofen. Ethyl cellulose and shellac polymers were used for drug layering and extended release coating in the same apparatus. Inert sugar spheres were intermittently treated with drug powder and binding solution.
