| Purpose The aim of this study is to study the safety and surgical outcomes of femtosecond laser assisted catarct surgery FLACS according to our earlyexperience with the procedure. Patients and methods This is a prospective study that included 50 consecutive FLACS cases of 40 patients. Cases have been performed by the same surgeon (A. E. Shama) between October 2015 and May 2016. Results In this study, we have reported no cases of programming errors, and only one (2%) eye had incomplete capsulotomy that necessitated completion using capsulurhexis foreceps. Seven (14%) eyes had incomplete corneal incisions that were completed using a sharp keratome, and lensfragmentation was complete in all cases except only one (2%) case. Thirty four (68%) eyes showed postdocking conjunctival echymosis (Fig. 3), which is considered as a minor complication that necessitates only goodcounseling of the patients. Although miosis (pupil constriction ≥2 mm) was common in this study (70%), it did not create any intraoperative problemsto the surgeon. Conclusion FLACS has a lower complication rate compared with standard phacoemulsification | ||||
