Ten Femtosecond Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery Clinical Pearls 1. Pre-treat with steroid and NSAID to reduce inflammation and pupillary miosis 2. Mark the steeper and flatter corneal meridian with a surgical keratoscope (Zeiss or Mastel) 3. No more than 2 drops topical anesthetic prior to Femtosecond Laser Treatment 4. Use a Leibowitz solid bladed speculum to isolate lids and proptose the globe 5. Pre-treat with lopidine gtts to reduce subconjunctival hemorharge
Ten Femtosecond Laser Refractive/Cataract Surgery Clinical Pearls 7. Place a drop of topical lubricant on the eye after Femtosecond laser treatment and tape the eye closed during transportation to the OR. 8. Inject Leiter s phenylephrine solution or equivalent into the eye prior to cataract removal to re-dilate the pupil 9. Protect the ocular surface and endothelium with a dispersive Viscoelastic (do not overinflate anterior chamber, rinse off the surfacewhen measuring the intraoperative aberrometry and when using the Mastel or Zeiss keratoscope). 10. Measure the aphakic refraction with the Wavetec Intraoperatiive Aberrometer. Use this for IOL power selection. Titrate the corneal relaxing incision open with a Sinskey hook using the Mastel or Zeiss keratoscope and WaveTec Intraoperative Aberrometer until the mire is round: Over inflate the eye with a cohesive viscoelastic to create a firm globe prior to measurements.
Economics of Femtosecond Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery 1 Fixed Cost (LenSx, Wavetec ORA, Mastel Keratoscope) 5 years pay off 2 Variaable cost (LenSx, Wavetec ORA, Mastel Keroscope) 3 Fee with ASC for cataract surgery/iol 4 Fee with ASC for FLRCS (50% toric, 50% MF, ACC ) $8,250/mo $100,000/yr $400 per eye at 250 per year $400/eye $2,000/yr $2000-$3000($2500 average)
Volume versus annual cost: FLRCS 100 $140,000 200 $180,000 300 $220,000 400 $260,000 500 $300,000 1000 $500,000
How do you pay for FLRCS? 1. Raise the price for all Refractive Cataract Surgery Cases( Charge the same fee whether manual or laser) $500/eye 2. Increase Cataract Volume: $2000/eye 3. Increase Conversion rate to premium IOL: $2500/eye

Summary 1. Refractive outcomes are the critical component in successful Refractive Cataract Surgery. 2. New surgical tools including a Surgical Keratoscope, Intraoperative Aberrometer, and Femtosecond Laser may enhance refractive outcomes and reduce enhancement rates.
