Recruitment & Eligibility

Status: Other (Terminated)

Sex: Not specified

Target Recruitment: 2000

Inclusion Criteria

1.Males or females, >=21 years old, who will undergo phacoemulsification cataract surgery in at least one eye;

2.Above patients who have the ability to understand and sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria

1.Patients who refuse to sign the informed consent form or donâ??t have complete medical records.

2.Patients who have contraindications for Phacoemulsification treatment per PI discretion or those listed in LenSx Operatorâ??s Manual;

Contraindications for the anterior capsulotomy, phacofragmentation of the lens using the

FLACS include the following:

•Corneal disease that precludes applanation of the cornea or transmission of laser light

at 1030 nm wavelength

•Descemetocele with impending corneal rupture

•Corneal opacity that would interfere with the laser beam

•Presence of blood or other material in the anterior chamber

•Hypotony, glaucoma, or the presence of a corneal implant

•Poorly dilating pupil, such that the iris is not peripheral to the intended diameter for the capsulotomy

•Conditions which would cause inadequate clearance between the intended capsulotomy depth and the endothelium (applicable to capsulotomy only)

•Residual, recurrent, active ocular or eyelid disease, including any corneal abnormality (for example, recurrent corneal erosion, severe basement membrane disease)

•A history of lens or zonular instability

•Any contraindications to cataract surgery

•Pediatric patients

Contraindications for corneal incisions using the FLACS include the following:

•Previous corneal incisions that might provide a potential space into which the gas produced by the procedure can escape

•Corneal thickness requirements that are beyond the range of the system

•Corneal opacity that would interfere with the laser beam

•Hypotony or the presence of a corneal implant

•Residual, recurrent, active ocular or eyelid disease, including any corneal abnormality (for example, recurrent corneal erosion, severe basement membrane disease)

•Pediatric patients

Potential contraindications are not limited to those included in this list and patients should be excluded accordingly at the surgeonsâ?? discretion.
