Abstract
Abstract Background To determine postoperative refractive and visual outcomes and astigmatic changes after femtosecond laser astigmatic keratotomy in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). Methods This was a prospective interventional case series. Patients with age-related cataract and corneal astigmatism (1.0–3.0D) were treated with FLACS and femtosecond laser astigmatic keratotomy (FSAK). All patients underwent examinations before and 3 months after surgery; visual acuity, subjective and objective refraction, and corneal astigmatism were evaluated and recorded for all patients by using an OPD-Scan III topographer. Vector analysis of astigmatic changes was performed by using the Alpins vector method. Results Twenty-five patients were included in the study. Postoperatively, refractive and corneal astigmatism were both reduced significantly (P
