The investigators performed the current study to compare: 1) the pain scores by Visual Analogue Scale; 2) the cytokines concentrations in aqueous humor by human cytokine antibody array; 3) the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); 4) the pupil behaviors by Image J between first-eye and second-eye in bilateral cataract patients undergoing sequential femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). To our knowledge, this is the first intraindividual study investigating contralateral effect in FLACS. The findings from the current study may broaden our understanding on the mechanism of sympathetic reaction, help to improve clinical performances, and provide strong clinical guidance for cataract surgeons.
