Effective Phaco Time and Endothelial Cell Loss When Using Veritas

Assessment of Effective Phaco Time and Endothelial Cell Loss When Using a Novel Dual Mode Phacoemulsification System

This study is a single center, prospective study of cumulative dissipated energy and endothelial cells loss per phacoemulsification procedure after successful cataract surgery. Subjects will be assessed 3 months postoperatively at a single visit. Clinical evaluations will include central corneal thickness, specular microscopy, as well as measurement of visual acuities at distance.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patients undergoing age-related cataract surgery.
• Planned use of the Catalys Precision Laser System.
• Planned implantation of TECNIS intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Moderate-severe any disease state (deemed by the surgeon) that could increase risk of complicated cataract surgery (ie, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, zonular dehiscence, history of eye trauma, and prior refractive surgery).
