Femtosecond laser (FSL) is a near-infrared laser that can create reliable and reproducible tissue cutting with minimal damage to adjacent tissue. As the laser can also create incisions with various orientations, depths, and shapes, it is expected to be a useful tool for anterior segment surgery, such as cornea, refractive, and cataract surgery. In this review, the authors will introduce the application of FSL in various anterior segment surgeries and discuss the results of studies regarding the efficacy and safety of FSL in cornea, refractive, and cataract surgery. Experimental studies regarding the potential use of FSL will also be introduced. The studies discussed in this review suggest that FSL may be a useful tool for improving the prognosis and safety of surgeries of the anterior segment.

Abstract Background: Ocular trauma has relationship with variable damage towards anterior segment or posterior segment. Among them, cornea, iris and lens are vulnerable to injury. For patients with traumatic cataract and other anterior segment trauma, complete reconstruction of anterior segment surgery can be a good option to restore patients’ anterior segment that helps them regain their vision. Case presentation: We presented a case of traumatic cataract with iris defects after explosive trauma. A surgery was done to fully reconstruct the anterior segment of the patient’s left eye including separating posterior synechia of iris, removing cataract and implantation of IOL. Postoperatively, the patient didn’t complain about photophobia anymore and the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of the patient reached from counting fingers to 20/25 and remained stable on follow-up at 1 week and 1 month. Conclusion: Our case suggested the importance of completely reconstruct anterior segment for patients who have traumatic cataract with traumatic iris defects and its benefits for society. Keywords: Traumatic cataract; Traumatic iris defect; Surgery
