Background and Objectives: To quantify the change in intraocular pressure (IOP) after phacoemulsification in patients having undergone femtolaser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), and study the influence of the use of ultrasound on this change. Setting: Jules-Gonin Eye Hospital, University Department of Ophthalmology, Lausanne, Switzerland. Materials and Methods: Interventional study. Methods: All consecutive cases operated with FLACS and with complete data for the studied parameters were selected for inclusion in the study. Data had been prospectively collected and was analysed retrospectively. Linear regression was performed to explore the association of change in IOP with time of measure, ultrasound use, sex, age, and duration of surgery. Results: There was a mean decrease in intraocular pressure of 2.5 mmHg (CI 95% -3.6; -1.4, p < 0.001) postoperatively. No association between the change in intraocular pressure and ultrasound time or effective phaco time was observed when the data were analyzed one at a time or in a multiple linear regression model. There was no association with sex, age, nuclear density, presence of pseudoexfoliation, duration of surgery, and time of ocular pressure measurement. Eyes with preoperative IOP ≥ 21 mmHg had a more significant IOP reduction after surgery (p < 0.0001) as did eyes with an anterior chamber depth <2.5 mm (p = 0.01). Conclusion: There was a decrease in intraocular pressure six months after FLACS in our study similar to that in the published literature for standard phacoemulsification. The use of ultrasound may not influence the size of the decrease, whereas the preoperative IOP and anterior chamber depth do. FLACS may be as valuable as standard phacoemulsification for cases where IOP reduction is needed postoperatively.
