A 3-year-old neutered male Scottish Fold cat weighing 4.4 kg presented with a corneal laceration of the left eye. The cornea was not perforated, as determined by a Seidel test. Vision was normal. The defect was successfully repaired using deep lamellar keratectomy and application of a tectonic graft, using glycerin-preserved canine corneal stroma.

Having been very successful in corneal surgery, femtolasers were recently introduced into the surgery of crystalline lens. The most important indications and advantages include: perfectly centered and sized capsulotomy, liquefaction of softer lenses and fragmentation of harder lenses which allows for chopping the nucleus without the use of phaco energy.

Retinal degenerative diseases causing progressive vision loss and leading eventually to blindness affect many people worldwide. Lack of effective therapeutic methods inspires scientists to further research.
