All interventions were conducted by the same expert surgeon. MPOD using the Macular Pigment Screener II (MPS II) was evaluated at baseline, 7 and 30 days after surgery. As secondary outcomes, we considered best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) obtained using optical coherence tomography.Results: In all cases, a BunnyLens AF IOL was safely implanted in the capsular bag through a 1.4 mm incision. We found a significant reduction in MPOD in both groups at 7 and 30 days; 0.16±0.14 and 0.10±0.12 (FLACS) and 0.18±0.13 and 0.15±0.14 (B-MICS), respectively (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups at either 7 (P=0.52) or 30 days (P=0.18). BCVA improved significantly in both groups and CMT increased in both groups (P<0.001, P<0.001, respectively). BCVA and CMT were similar between the groups with a significant difference in CMT in favor of the FLACS group at 30 days (P=0.017).Conclusions: MPOD was reduced in both groups without any significant difference between the FLACS and B-MICS cataract interventions. FLACS is associated with a significantly higher increase of macular thickness at 30 days compared to B-MICS.Keywords: femtosecond laser, macular pigment, macular pigment optical density (MPOD), femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), bimanual microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS), flicker photometryVerdina TDate PBenatti CLazzerini AFornasari EDe Maria MPellacani EForlini MCavallini GMDove Medical Pressarticlefemtosecond lasermacular pigmentmacular pigment optical density (MPOD)femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS)bimanual microincision cataract surgery (B-MICS)flicker photometryOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 13, Pp 821-828 (2019) |
