The investigational device is an approved femtosecond laser (FSL) device with an integrated imaging system to perform certain steps of the cataract procedure. The FSL will perform anterior capsulotomy and lens fragmentation in individuals suffering from age-related cataract with need of cataract surgery.
Cataract surgery will be performed in subjects who have signed an informed consent form. Aqueous humor will be collected and screening will be performed for Total Prostaglandin and Prostaglandin E2 via en-bloc Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)-Kit.

Bilateral femtosecond-laser assisted cataract surgery will be performed in individuals with age-related cataract. Eyes will be randomized into two groups receiving either anterior capsulotomy before lens fragmentation or vice versa in the contralateral eye. After laser procedure samples of aqueous humor will be collected and when complete all samples will be analysed by ELISA for Prostaglandin.

Groups will be randomized. Randomization information will be put in a sealed envelope on screening date and opened in operating theatre right before procedure start.
