In this interview from the 2013 American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Annual Meeting, Dr. Parag Majmudar summarizes the findings from the Academy's recent Ophthalmic Technology Assessment on femtosecond laser for LASIK flap creation. The assessment reviewed level I and II literature and concluded that femtosecond laser is effective for creating LASIK flaps, with visual results as good as or better than those associated with flaps created by mechanical microkeratome. Dr. Majmudar also describes the history of complications related to femtosecond laser, including transient light-sensitivity syndrome, rainbow glare, and opaque bubble layer. For the most part, says Dr. Majmudar, these complications have been reduced or eliminated as femtosecond laser technology has matured.
