Fluctuations in intraocular pressure before and after femtosecond laser pretreatment for cataract surgery

Key Points

• To investigate the changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) associated with femtosecond laser pretreatment prior to cataract surgery.
• Analyzed IOP levels before and after femtosecond laser pretreatment.
• Identified patient characteristics like baseline IOP and presence of glaucoma.
• Evaluated laser parameter customization to improve IOP outcomes.
• Notable rise in IOP observed following femtosecond laser pretreatment.
• Patients with higher baseline IOP and glaucoma require improved IOP management during surgery.
• Customization of laser energy usage linked to reduced post-treatment IOP.
