Which is the most common cataract surgery in Singapore between femtosecond laser versus phacoemulsification cataract surgery, and why?

Doctor's Answer

Phacoemulsifiation is the commoner of the 2. Femtosecond cataract surgery has been available for about 5 years now and remains relatively less popular. The reason is due in large part to the fact that femtosecond cataract surgery has yet to show superiority in post-operative results but yet saddles the patient with significantly higher costs. Femtosecond cataract surgery though is found to be a useful tool by surgeons in certain complicated cases.
