A randomized controlled trial comparing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery versus conventional phacoemulsification surgery.

Purpose: To compare the clinical results of conventional phacoemulsification surgery (CPS) with femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Setting: Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom.

Design: Single-center prospective randomized interventional case-controlled trial.

Refractive outcomes after limbal relaxing incisions or femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomy to manage corneal astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery.

Purpose: To compare the results of manual limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) performed during conventional phacoemulsification surgery with those of nonpenetrating femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomies performed during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery to manage corneal astigmatism.

Setting: Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom.
