Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery versus phacoemulsification in shallow anterior chambers: a systematic review and meta-analysis
In shallow anterior chambers, FLACS was associated with lower endothelial cell loss; the signal is preliminary and does not yet change practice pending randomized evidence.

- Why it matters
- Meta-analysis of six studies reports FLACS linked to reduced endothelial cell loss versus conventional phacoemulsification in shallow anterior chambers.
- Limitations
- Meta-analysis pools observational and non-randomized studies; high heterogeneity across included trials.
