چکیده

PURPOSE To describe two cases of successful femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in patients with a transparent hydrogel corneal inlay (Raindrop Near Vision Inlay; ReVision Optics, Inc., Lake Forest, CA). METHODS Case report. RESULTS In both cases, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery was performed with the inlay in place. The femtosecond laser pulses were delivered without difficulties, and the Raindrop inlay did not interfere with the visualization of intraocular structures during surgery. Following implantation of a monofocal intraocular lens targeted for plano, both patients experienced improvements in their uncorrected distance visual acuity and regained near vision. CONCLUSIONS These two cases suggest that the presence of the Raindrop inlay left in situ does not preclude successful femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Comparison of femtosecond laser-assisted corneal intrastromal xenotransplantation and the allotransplantation in rhesus monkeys

BACKGROUND In our previous study, we showed that both allogeneic and autogeneic small-incision femtosecond laser-assisted corneal intrastromal transplantation are safe and effective surgeries. However, the results of small-incision femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal xenotransplantation have not yet been explored. Additionally, we suggest that glycerol-dehydrated corneal lamellae might prov...

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery after penetrating keratoplasty: a case report

BACKGROUND Cataract surgery after penetratingkeratoplasty (PKP) is often challenging due to changes in the integrity of the cornea caused by PKP. For example, corneal endothelial cell (CEC) loss and corneal edema commonly occur after traditional phacoemulsification cataract surgery in patients that previously had successful PKP. Recent studies have reported that femtosecond laser-assisted catar...
