Materials and methods: Thirty-six eyes eyes of 24 patients who underwent femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery in the between the period of June 2013 and June 2014 were reviewed. The visual acuity, anterior and posterior segment examination, intraocular pressure and keratometric values as an indicator of surgically induced astigmatism were measured. Corneal endothelial cell count was evaluated via specular microscope. The visual acuity, keratometric values and corneal endothelial cells were evaluated 3 months later. The results are statistically analyzed with the Chi-square test.

Results: The difference between the pre- and postoperative astigmatism were not more than +/- 0.25 diopters . Mean endothelial cell loss was about 8% after surgery, but in no case the endothelial cell number reached the critical level which leads to corneal decompensation.

Conclusion: The impact of femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery on corneal endothelium and keratometric values is minimal. The impact of femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery on corneal endothelium and astigmatism is very low and the visual results are predictable.
