The Impact of Femtosecond Laser on Intraocular Pressure With Cataract Surgery in Healthy Eyes.
J Glaucoma
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology Carmel Medical Center, affiliated with the Rapaport Faculty of Medicine, The Technion, Haifa, Israel.
Prcis: Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) leads to an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) during the procedure and subsequent IOP reduction after surgery, with greater magnitude in eyes with higher preoperative IOP.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of FLACS using the LDVZ8 laser on IOP during and after surgery, and to compare the IOP-lowering effect of FLACS and conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery (CPCS).
Patients And Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled 395 healthy eyes (395 patients) scheduled for FLACS (n=245) and CPCS (n=150).
Effect of Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery on Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness.
J Glaucoma
May 2022
Department of Ophthalmology Carmel Medical Center, Affiliated to the Rapaport Faculty of Medicine, The Technion.
Prcis: Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) may cause thinning of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) in healthy eyes.
Purpose: This prospective cohort study aimed to compare changes of pRNFL after FLACS using a liquid patient interface and conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery (CPCS).
Patients And Methods: Included were 261 eyes (261 patients) with age-related cataracts and no ocular diseases scheduled either for FLACS (222 eyes) or CPCS (39 eyes).
Ex-PRESS Miniature Glaucoma Shunt Versus Ahmed Glaucoma Valve in the Surgical Treatment of Glaucoma in Pseudophakic Patients.
J Glaucoma
October 2018
Department of Ophthalmology Carmel Medical Center, Haifa, Israel, affiliated to the Rapaport Faculty of Medicine, The Technion.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the 3-year outcome of Ex-PRESS miniature glaucoma shunt versus Ahmed glaucoma valve in pseudophakic patients.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with a history of clear corneal phacoemulsification alone, or failed trabeculectomy following phacoemulsification, who subsequently underwent Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation or Ex-PRESS shunt surgery. The main outcome measure, surgical success, was defined as an intraocular pressure between 5 and 21 mm Hg and a 20% intraocular pressure reduction from baseline (with/without glaucoma medications) without glaucoma reoperation.
