Abstract

Background: Ten years was passed since the first Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) platform was introduced to the Egyptian market with hope for cataract patients. Objectives: To report and assess femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery's efficiency and safety utilizing Victus femtosecond laser platform used in the Egyptian market. Patients and methods: This retrospective investigation was conducted at a private facility that has Egypt's first FLACS platform. It was conducted 10 years ago on 20 eyes that had cataract grade III. For them Femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery was done using Victus Femtosecond Laser Platform (Technolas Bausch and Lomb). 20 eyes were planned as a control group utilizing conventional cataract extraction.  Preoperative slit lamp examination, best corrected visual acuity and endothelial cell count were done and repeated postoperatively. Main outcome measures contained visual acuity and endothelial cell count. Data were collected and analyzed statistically. Results: Regarding postoperative visual acuity it was significantly better with FLACS and improved after one week and one month, beside that endothelial cell loss was less with it. Conclusion: In comparison to traditional cataract extraction, femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) using the Victus femtosecond laser platform was a successful and secure technique.
