The impact of limbus detection, arcus lipoides and limbal vessels on the primary patency of clear cornea incisions in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

We showed a patency rate of superior FLACS incisions of over 97% with the Femto LDV Z8 in our study. Temporal main incision is preferable to superior main incision in more difficult situations. The new grading system is suitable for further studies to provide information on the quality of the incision.
