Eye surgeon here: FLACS isn't really that amazing. I would actually argue that a man made incision using steel or diamond (yes, diamond) is better than the incision made using the femto laser for long term safety/sealing. Number of studies have borne this out.

95% success rate seems low. you need to define success in this scenario. Are we aiming for 20/20 vision outcomes? Just getting the cataract out in full?
