OBJECTIVE To report two cases of cataract with phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) in situ that underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) along with PIOL explantation. METHODS Case reports. RESULTS The first case had an implantable collamer lens (ICL) in situ. A well-centered, circular femtosecond laser capsulotomy was achieved. Incomplete nucleotomy was noted due to the entrapment of cavitation bubbles beneath the ICL. Postoperative visual acuity was 20/20. The second case had a rigid iris-claw PIOL in situ. Successful femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy and nuclear fragmentation were achieved. The PIOL was disenclavated temporally and displaced inferiorly followed by completion of phacoemulsification. The PIOL was explanted at the end of surgery by enlarging the temporal incision. Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity was 20/32. CONCLUSIONS The femtosecond laser can be used to create a capsulotomy and nuclear fragmentation through both anterior and posterior chamber PIOLs.

D002386	Cataract	Partial or complete opacity on or in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes, impairing vision or causing blindness. The many kinds of cataract are classified by their morphology (size, shape, location) or etiology (cause and time of occurrence).

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D014792	Visual Acuity	Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.	Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities

D054120	Phakic Intraocular Lenses	Lenses, generally made of plastic or silicone, that are implanted into the eye in front of the natural EYE LENS, by the IRIS, to improve VISION, OCULAR. These intraocular lenses are used to supplement the natural lens instead of replacing it.
