 The analysis of the results of femtolazer-assisted cataract phacoemulsification in 426 patients is carried out. The age of patients ranged from 57 to 78 years. No one operation was accompanied by vacuum loss during femto-assistance, incomplete treatment, ruptures or detachment of Descemet’s membrane. The incomplete capsulorhexis occurred in 7 caes, capsulorhexis removal in 9 cases, paralimbal hematomas of various severity in all cases. 1 day after the operation the uncorrected vision acuity was 0.87±0.03, while vision acuity of 0.7 and higher was marked in 88.2% of cases 1 day after the operation. The experience femtolazer-assisted cataract phacoemulsification demonstrates rapid functional rehabilitation of patients, consistently high functional and refractive results.

Key words: senile cataract, cataract surgery, femtolazer-assisted cataract phacoemulsification.
