To assess the effectiveness, safety and predictability of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in eyes with shallow anterior chamber (AC). This is a prospective consecutive clinical study. All eyes presented an anterior chamber depth (ACD) ≤ 2.1 mm and were submitted to FLACS with monofocal intraocular lens (mIOL) or trifocal intraocular lens (tIOL) implantation. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (VA) and corrected distance VA values were used to assess efficacy and safety of the surgery. Refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), endothelial cell density (ECD) and ACD were evaluated before and 6 months post-surgery. Phacoemulsification was carried out successfully in all eyes, without intra- or postoperative complications. Efficacy and safety indexes were 0.96 and 1.26 for the mIOL group, and 0.87 and 1.01 for the tIOL group, respectively. The mean postoperative spherical equivalent was − 0.06 ± 0.28D and − 0.14 ± 0.38D for the mIOL and tIOL groups, respectively. The ECD varied from 2470 ± 483 to 2009 ± 538 cells/mm2 (p
