Surgical method selection for cataracts after pars plana vitrectomy in high myopia: comparison between femtosecond laser-assisted and conventional phacoemulsification.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The surgical safety of cataract patients with high myopia after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery deserves more attention. Currently, there are limited reported studies on the use of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) to treat cataracts following PPV surgery in patients with high myopia. This study was designed to compare the clinical effects of FLACS and conventional phacoemulsification surgery (CPS) in these patients.

Methods

A retrospective comparative cohort was conducted. The primary endpoint was best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, logMAR) at 1 month after surgery. Confounding by indication was addressed using stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on prespecified baseline covariates, with a doubly robust ANCOVA
