Abstract
Objective
To compare the effect of different fragmentation softening grids in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery on cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), effective phacoemulsification time (EPT), balanced salt solution volume during surgery and corneal endothelial cell loss.
Methods
A prospective cohort study of all patients (66 cases, 75 eyes) who accepted femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in Xiamen ophthalmic center during June 2015 to November 2015 were randomly divided into 3 groups: group A: Frag and Chop (350 mm fragmentation grids and octants); group B: Cylinder (diameter:3.0mm); group C: Chop (sestants). Patients were evaluated preoperatively with the Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III). The CDE, EPT, balanced salt solution volume, corneal endothelial cell loss and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at one month were compared.
Results
There was no statistically significant difference in LOCS III, preoperative corneal endothelial cell count in three groups (P >0.05). Comparing with the group B and C, the CDE, EPT and postoperative corneal endothelial cell loss were significantly lower in group A (CDE: group A: 4.7±2.8, group B: 6.4±3.1, group C: 6.6±3.0; EPT: group A: 23.9±12.0s, group B: 30.8±11.7s, group C: 32.1±12.6s; corneal endothelial cell loss: group A: 4.2±4.3%, group B: 6.7±4.4%, group C: 7.2±4.8%; P 0.05).
Conclusions
The use of the femtosecond laser-assisted system in cataract surgery with frag and chop led to a statistically significant lower CDE, EPT and postoperative corneal endothelial cell loss.

China Practical Ophthalmology was founded in May 1983. It is supervised by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and China Medical University, and publicly distributed at home and abroad. It is a national-level excellent core academic journal of comprehensive ophthalmology and a series of journals of the Chinese Medical Association.
China Practical Ophthalmology aims to guide and improve the theoretical level and actual clinical diagnosis and treatment ability of frontline ophthalmologists in my country. It is characterized by close integration with clinical practice, and timely publishes academic articles and scientific research results with high practical value to clinicians, so that readers can understand and use them, improve the theoretical level and diagnosis and treatment ability of ophthalmologists, help and support their innovative development, and is deeply welcomed and loved by ophthalmologists and readers.
