Table 2. Baseline characteristics of cataract grade and surgical data.

Parameters	FLACS (95%CI)	CPS (95%CI)	Pa
CDE (U/S)	1.17 (0.64-1.71)	7.9 (6.58-9.14)	2.40×10−11
Fluid use (mL)	60.98 (54.54-67.39)	45.0 (40.69-49.31)	0.00014
Phacoemulsification time (s)	11.50 (6.35-16.65)	47.25 (42.0-52.5)	3.01×10−11
Laser time (s)	57.87 (45-70)
Knife time (min)	12.38 (11.30-13.47)	10.51 (9.55-11.48)	0.01
Docking time (min)	2.36 (2.17-2.57)
Total procedure time (min)	14.9 (13.7-16.1)	10.51 (9.55-11.48)	2.53×10−6

^aPaired t-test. CDE in the FLACS group was decreased by 85% compared to CPS. Total procedure time includes laser time and docking time. FLACS: Femto-assisted laser cataract surgery; CPS: Conventional phacoemulsification surgery; CDE: Cumulative dissipated energy.
