Toric or Bust: FLACS to the Rescue

Scott E. LaBorwit, MD

Show Description +

Integrating femtosecond laser technology into cataract surgery ensures a precise capsulotomy shape and size, geometrically aligning the IOL to achieve reverse optic capture. Traditionally, a toric lens could only be inserted into the capsular bag. However, FLACS creates opportunities for optimizing refractive outcomes, offering surgeons enhanced flexibility during procedures. This humorous video demonstration highlights these innovative capabilities.
