Change of Capsulotomy Over 1 Year in Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery and Its Impact on Visual Quality.

Purpose: To compare the shape of the capsulotomy, its change, and its impact on visual quality over 1 year using the femtosecond laser system from the manual technique.

Methods: In this two-center cross-sectional study from May 2012 to June 2013, each patient had femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in one eye (FLACS group) and conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery in the other eye (CPCS group). An evaluation of the capsulotomy was performed using retroillumination slit-lamp photographs at 7 days, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery.
