*5.3.3 Vitreoretinal complications*

Clinical cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract surgery, manual or FLACS, remains a rare complication with a prevalence lower than 2% [2]. The peri-operative use of nonsteroidal drops may interfere with the CME rate. Endophthalmitis, expulsive hemorrhage and retinal detachment are rarer complications, estimated at less than 0.1% [38]. No difference between manual phacoemulsification and femtosecond procedures has been described.
