Analysis of Femtosecond Laser Assisted Capsulotomy Cutting Edges and Manual Capsulorhexis Using Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy

Figure 3

(a), (b) High-magnification images of the Victus and LenSx capsulotomy cutting edges, respectively. The stacks of collagen fibers at the capsular edge could be seen in some specimens (3/5) treated by the Victus FS laser. This was not the case for the LenSx specimens, likely related to a high thermal effect excerpted on the collagen fibers.
