Efficacy and Safety of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery with the Catalys Platform in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Cataract: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In recent years, the continuous rise in diabetes prevalence has led to a significant increase in the number of patients with diabetic cataracts. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), as an innovative technology in the field of cataract treatment, has demonstrated remarkable advantages over conventional phacoemulsification (CPS) in terms of surgical precision and efficiency. However, the unique ocular pathological changes in patients with diabetes (such as fragile lens capsules, posterior synechiae of the iris, and increased risk of postoperative inflammatory reactions) pose distinct challenges for cataract surgery. Currently, there is a lack of evidence-based medical data regarding the safety and efficacy of FLACS in this specific population.
