Comparison of vitreous loss rates between manual phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Purpose: To compare the vitreous loss complication rate of manual phacoemulsification cataract surgery with that of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Setting: Mercy Eye Specialists, Springfield, Missouri, USA.

Design: Retrospective single-center case series.

Femtosecond laser-assisted primary posterior capsulotomy for toric intraocular lens fixation and stabilization.

Unlabelled: We describe 2 cases in which a spontaneously rotated toric intraocular lens (IOL) was fixated and stabilized using the femtosecond laser to create a primary posterior capsulotomy for posterior optic capture. We also review the literature on previous techniques that have been used to prevent or stabilize recurrent toric IOL rotation. The design of toric IOLs must be evaluated further to determine the risk for rotation in myopic eyes.
