The purpose of this study is to record and analyze the profile and outcome of cataract patients receiving phacoemulsification (phaco) and artificial intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with or without femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in Indian tertiary medical centers.
Legitimate patients will receive Standard of Care (SOC) phacoemulsification treatment for cataract and IOL implantation, with or without using LenSx® technology, with followup for 1 month using SOC postsurgical treatment.
Study Type
