Secondary cataract in patients after traditional phacoemulsification in comparison with femtolaser extraction

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Secondary cataract is a frequent complication of the postoperative period of cataract surgery.

AIM: To evaluate the timing of secondary cataract formation in pseudophakic eyes after cataract extraction phacoemulsification, carried out as traditional phacoemulsification in comparison with femtolaser cataract surgery.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of patients who underwent YAG laser posterior capsulotomy (98 people, 108 eyes). All patients were divided into two groups. First group (54 people, 58 eyes) consisted of patients in whom secondary cataract occurred after traditional phacoemulsification. In the second group (44 people, 50 eyes) secondary cataract occurred after femtolaser-assisted cataract surgery. All patients were implanted with a monofocal intraocular lens MIOL-2.

RESULTS: The data analysis revealed that the period of secondary cataract formation in the first group was 2.83 ± 1.25 years, in the second group 3.75 ± 1.0 years.

CONCLUSIONS: The analysis showed that the secondary cataract after traditional phacoemulsification occurs earlier by an average of 1 year than after femtolaser-assisted cataract surgery.
