TLDR
Laser cataract surgery, irrespective of potential improvements in visual acuity outcomes and complication rates, is not cost effective at its current cost to patient when compared with cost-effectiveness benchmarks and other medical interventions, including PCS.About:

TL;DR: Although FLACS did show a statistically significant difference for several secondary surgical outcomes, it was associated with higher prostaglandin concentrations and higher rates of posterior capsular tears, and there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of overall complications.

TL;DR: A participant-masked randomised superiority clinical trial comparing FLACS and PCS in two parallel groups found that femtosecond laser was not superior to phacoemulsification in cataract surgery and, with higher costs, did not provide an additional benefit over phacoEMulsification for patients or health-care systems.

TL;DR: This study confirms the nonsignificant differences between 2 treatment modalities, notwithstanding a significant reduction in posterior capsule ruptures in the femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery group.

Recommendations for Reporting Cost-effectiveness Analyses
TL;DR: Recommendations for the reporting of cost-effective analyses intended to improve the quality and accessibility of CEA reports are proposed to enhance the transparency of study methods, assist analysts in providing complete information, and facilitate the presentation of comparable cost-effectiveness results across studies.

TL;DR: The results in this analysis might provide normative data for cataract patients and a useful reference for multiple purposes as the correlation of AL with corneal radius, ACD, and corneAL diameter in normal eyes was not present in eyes with extreme myopia or hyperopia.
