Patients with bilateral age related cataract will be included in the study. Manual cataract surgery (MCS) will be performed in one eye and laser cataract surgery (LCS) in the corresponding eye. LCS will be performed with an approved femtosecond laser (FSL) device with an integrated imaging system.
After surgery aqueous humour will be collected and screened with Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kits for Interleukin-1β; Interleukin-6 and PG.

Patients' eyes will be randomized into two groups receiving either MCS or LCS. In the LCS group aqueous humour will be collected exactly five minutes after laser pretreatment. In the MCS group aqueous humour will be collected before manual manipulation of anterior chamber. Aqueous humour will be screened with Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kits for Interleukin-1β; Interleukin-6 and PG.
