摘要:



PURPOSE:
To describe a new surgical technique for a patient with cataract combined with corneal opacity.

METHODS:
This technique, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, was performed on a patient with a history of corneal opacity in both eyes from childhood. Because the patient had deep stromal corneal opacity, a corneal button 400-mum thick was made for lamellar keratoplasty while cataract surgery was performed simultaneously.

RESULTS:
Lifting of the flap and removal of the corneal button before cataract surgery was successful without any intraoperative complications.

CONCLUSIONS:
Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is a promising surgical procedure for a cataract patient with stromal corneal opacity.
