Record ID 32018001159
English
Authors' objectives:
The health technology assessed a computer-controlled laser system to complete various steps of cataract surgery. The objective of this rapid assessment was to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and procedural time of FLACS compared to the standard manual technique for cataract surgery in patients affected by age-related cataract. A structured approach for rating the importance of effectiveness and safety outcomes was carried out, which informed the systematic review and analysis of the published literature.
