Figure 1 Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with the LDV Z8 system.
Notes: Application of suction ring with careful centration over the limbus (A). Docking of the laser system over the corneal apex (B). Completion of lens fragmentation (pie-cut pattern) followed by an anterior capsulotomy (5.0 mm diameter) (C). Removal of the anterior capsule (D). Hydrodissection and nuclear splitting (E). Bimanual phacoemulsification performed using the Oertli Catharex 3 system (F). Bimanual irrigation/aspiration of the residual cortex and posterior capsule (G). Placement of the intraocular lens in the capsular bag (H, I).
