OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcome of the femtosecond laser-assisted @entity231 surgery (FLACS) in our first 300 cases. METHODS: In this retrospective study, the study group comprised 300 cases (300 eyes) in which FLACS was done. The control group comprised 300 cases (300 eyes) in which phacoemulsification was performed. The steps of the FLACS included capsulotomy, @entity1949 , @entity2687 , and creation of incisions within the peripheral cornea to aid the correction of pre-existing @entity940 . After the FLACS, 2.2-mm coaxial micro-incision phacoemulsification and implantation of an intraocular lens were operated. The preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), the cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) of the phacoemulsification, and the parameters of the FLACS, including the docking time, the suction time and the laser time, were recorded. The complications of the FLACS were analyzed. RESULTS: The FLACS was successfully completed in 99.33% of the cases. The docking time was (24.6    16.8) sec, the suction time was (101.27    20.09) sec, and the laser time was (23.3    5.5) sec. The most common complications of the FLACS included suction break (7/300, 2.33%), @entity548 (58/300, 19.33%), pupillary constriction (47/300, 15.67%), incision at a wrong site (13/300, 4.33%), anterior capsular tag (17/300, 5.67%), decentration of the capsulorhexis (11/300, 3.67%), failure to split the lens nucleus (5/300, 1.67%), and posterior capsular @entity397 (1/300, 0.33%). The CDE was 5.52    5.18 in the FLACS group and 8.37    7.91 in the traditional phaco group (P < 0.05). The UCVA was 0.12    0.08 and 0.13    0.11 at 1 month after the FLACS and traditional phaco, respectively (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the conventional phacoemulsification surgery, the FLACS can achieve less CDE and better early postoperative visual acuity. Long-term effects remain to be investigated.
