Comparison of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery and Conventional Phacoemulsification in Shallow Anterior Chambers and Glaucoma

Table 1

Baseline demographics between the two groups.

	FLACS group	Conventional group	value
Age (year)	67.19 ± 10.37	67.33 ± 8.84	0.958
Gender (female/male)	40 (76.92%)/12 (23.08%)	40 (74.07%)/14 (25.93%)	1
ACD (mm)	1.43 ± 0.62	1.64 ± 0.40	0.146
(i) Range	0.53 mm–2.38 mm	0.89 mm–2.36 mm
With zonulysis	10 (19.2%)	16 (29.6%)	0.353
(ii) Preop subluxation range (o’clock)	3.20 ± 0.92	3.12 ± 0.96	0.845
(iii) CTR implantation	4 (40%)	14 (87.5%)	0.027

The values are represented as mean ± SD in age and ACD; number (percentage) in gender, with glaucoma, with subluxated lens, and CTR implantation. ACD, anterior chamber depth; CTR, capsular tension ring; FLACS, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. Statistically significant.
