JCRS 2006 Oct;32(10):1661-6 2Park et al. Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging. 2010 Mar-Apr;41(2):236-41

  6. Visual OutcomesCorneal Refractive vs Cataract Surgery

  7. Goals of Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery • Improve Every Procedure, Technology and Surgeon • Presbyopia, Astigmatism & Monofocal • Refractive Precision and Integration • New laser-based standard, synonymous with patient pay

  8. Laser Refractive Cataract SurgeryPlatforms in Development • LenSx (Aliso Viejo, CA) • LensAR (Winter Park, FL) • OptiMedica (Santa Clara, CA) • Technolas Perfect Vision (Munich, Germany) • Known projects in undisclosed stages of development: - AMO - Schwind - Zeiss

  9. LenSx LaserAlcon LenSx, Inc. • Aliso Viejo, CA • 2008: 1st femtosecond laser used • clinically in EU for Laser Refractive • Cataract Surgery (Nagy, Budapest) • 1st femtosecond laser to receive FDA • clearance for cataract surgery (2009) • Currently three 510(k) clearances: • - Anterior Capsulotomy • - Corneal Incisions • - Laser Phacofragmentation • 1st Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery • procedure performed in US on • Feb 29, 2010 (Slade, Houston) • US commercialization Q4 2010; • CE mark anticipated early 2011

  10. LensARFemtosecond LaserLensAR, Inc.Winter Park, FL • FDA 510(k) clearance for Anterior • Capsulotomy (2010) • Clinical studies ongoing in Mexico • City (Naranjo-Tackman) and • Manila (Uy) • Also pursuing presbyopia correction • via softening of the lens • Commercialization projected 2011 • Projected CE mark undisclosed

  11. OptiMedicaFemtosecond LaserOptiMedica Corp.Santa Clara, CA • No FDA 510(k) clearances to date • Clinical studies underway in Santo • Domingo, Dominican Republic • Commercialization projected 2011 • Projected CE mark undisclosed

  12. TechnolasFemtosecond WorkstationTechnolas Perfect VisionMunich, Germany • Introduced Customlens procedure via • Technolas Femtosecond Workstation • at ESCRS 2010 (Paris) • Clinical studies ongoing in Bogota • (Auffarth, Ruiz) 2010 • No US regulatory pathway disclosed • CE mark and commercialization • projected early 2011

  13. Image Guided Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery(LenSx Laser) • Integrated OCT scans project images of cornea, lens, iris, capsule onto video microscope • Surgeon selects incisions & lens treatment; patterns are projected onto OCT images and confirmed • OCT projects real-time images during lens fragmentation, capsulotomy and corneal incisions.

  14. Capsulotomy Size and Refractive Outcomes • A 4mm capsulorhexis results in longer postoperative ELP than does a 6 mm capsulorhexis for the type of IOL used • Cekic, Batman. Ophthalmic Surgery and Lasers, March 1999 • To ensure that an IOL’s position in the bag matches the anticipated formula used to calculate its power, the capsulorhexis should be round, centered and smaller than the IOL’s optic • This encourages consistent refractive outcome • Hill W. Cat & Refract Surg Today, Oct 2007 • It is critical to have consistent capsulorhexis diameter to have predictable refractive outcome

  15. Factors Affecting Relative Power of IOL • If IOL is 0.5mm posterior to the assumed plane, a 21D lens will produce only 20D of correction – hyperopic • If IOL is 0.5mm anterior to the assumed plane, a 21D lens will produce 22D of correction – myopic

  16. Importance of Effective Lens Position • ELP for the 5 formulas commonly in use are: • SRK/T d = A-constant • Hoffer Q d = pACD • Holladay 1 d = Surgeon Factor • Holladay 2 d = ACD • Haigis d = a0 + (a1 * ACD) + (a2 * AL) • ELP is assumed value, from empirical data (A constant and surgeon factor) • A significant source of IOL power error, (Norby, 2008) key to post surgery refraction (Hill, 2009) • Size of capsulorhexis effects ELP (Cekic, 1999)

  17. Refractive Capsulotomy Study • Nagy Z, Takacs A, Filkorn T, Sarayba M. Initial clinical evaluation of an intraocular femtosecond laser in cataract surgery. J Refract Surg. 2009;25(12):1053-1060 • . • 100% of LenSx procedures achieved an accuracy of ± 0.25 mm • Only 10% of manual procedures achieved an accuracy of ±0.25 mm • No radial tears

  18. Highly Reproducible Refractive Capsulotomy Only 10% of manual rhexis achieved diameter accuracy of +/- 0.25mm

  19. Effective Lens Position with Premium Lens Statistically Significant Improvement in Precision of IOL Position F Test p=< 0.05 *Using Warren Hill ELPo Calculator http://doctor-hill.com/iol-main/elp.htm

  23. Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery

  24. Patient Acceptance of Technology U.S. Experience • Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery easily resonates with patients – similar to all laser LASIK • Patients perceive surgical steps performed with laser are safer and more precise • First US surgery center converted to 100% Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery within 1 month (Slade – Houston, TX) “As impressive as the performance of the LenSx Laser was, the overwhelmingly positive response from the patients was even more exciting. Patients readily appreciate and choose “laser refractive cataract surgery” – Stephen Slade, M.D.

  25. The Future • Improved safety profile of Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery will drive growth in the private pay cataract surgery market • The precision of a laser procedure that replaces most of the manual, imprecise steps of cataract surgery is titratable. • A laser created, perfectly centered capsulotomy and predictable, concentric capsular contracture reduces variability in effective lens position. • The ability to accurately correct pre-existing astigmatism at the time of surgery will enable surgeons to meet baby boomer expectations for better refractive outcomes. • The precision of Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery will drive rapid innovation in IOL design, and the evolution of less invasive cataract removal techniques.
