Femtosecond Laser in Lens Surgery: Contribution to Emmetropia

The achievement of emmetropia has been one of the oldest dreams in ophthalmology. This goal involves the correction of any refractive error, and by extension, age-related presbyopia. It is also presently established that lens surgery holds the title of the best available and definitive technique to address presbyopia correction, whether in the presence of a cataract or a transparent crystalline lens. In this quest, femtosecond laser technology arose, enabling competing indexes of reproducibility, precision, efficacy, and customization regarding the several steps involved in lens surgery. The present Article Collection serves the purpose of providing further illumination on the role of femtosecond laser in lens surgery and stimulating new developments of this technology.
