[Femtosecond lasers for cataract and refractive lens surgery].
The femtosecond laser technology continues its progress in ophthalmology and now also plays an increasingly important role in lens surgery. Using this technology it is possible to create corneal sections and to perform capsulorhexis and lens fragmentation. There are currently four instruments on the market with more to follow. The individual benefits and also critical issues are presented and the results of current studies are discussed.
