To compare the rates of rapid posterior capsule opacification (PCO) formation in the first 3 months following femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) to manual anterior capsulorhexis.
Retrospective review of 29 cases of FLACS, comparing the rates of PCO in the first 3 months following surgery to 50 consecutive cases of manual anterior capsulorhexis.
Seven of the 29 FLACS cases developed PCO requiring capsulotomy at 3 months, while none of the control cases required a capsulotomy over the same time period (p < 0.05).
There is an increased incidence of early-onset PCO following the use of femtosecond laser in cataract surgery that is otherwise unfounded in manual capsulorhexis. This suggests that the use of a femtosecond laser could increase the risk of this novel postoperative complication.
比较飞秒激光辅助白内障手术（FLACS）后前3个月与手法撕囊术后后囊膜混浊（PCO）快速形成的发生率。
回顾性分析29例飞秒激光辅助白内障手术病例，将术后前3个月的PCO发生率与50例连续的手法撕囊病例进行比较。
29例飞秒激光辅助白内障手术病例中有7例在3个月时发生PCO需要行囊切开术，而同期对照病例均无需行囊切开术（p<0.05）。
白内障手术中使用飞秒激光后早发性PCO的发生率增加，而手法撕囊则无此情况。这表明使用飞秒激光可能会增加这种新的术后并发症的风险。
