About this trial
The goal of this observationnal study is to supplement the data collected in the pre-market study and confirm the rate of capsular ruptures due to Rx (reducing its related confidence interval).
During cataract surgery, an artificial lens is placed into the capsular bag. The main question this study aims to answer is :
Is Rx use associated with a rate of caspular ruptures lower than 2% ? Medical records of participants having cataract surgery with Rx laser as part of their regular medical care will be assessed in order to answer the study objective.
