An increasing number of optometrists are performing Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy procedures; however, there is limited published information on the outcomes of these procedures. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of capsulotomy procedures performed by optometrists. Subjects diagnosed with ...
After \{PCO\} treatment by neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy, Elschnig pearls may undergo hyperproliferation at the edge of the capsulotomy, which may close it. We have seen six eyes in five patients who presented with spontaneous disappearance of Elschnig pearls, resulting ...
Much more useful is the ability of the YAG laser to achieve posterior capsulotomy painlessly and rapidly through the slit lamp. The laser energy must be the minimum necessary for the task and accurate focusing is essential, otherwise it is easy to produce small areas of damage to the implant...

Objectives:To investigate the associations between different single-piece monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy incidence 3 years after cataract surgery in a Spanish cohort. Methods:This is a longitudinal retrospective cohort study. ...
Results: The present study showed IOP spikes in 12 eyes out of 150 eyes in the follow up of 1st hr, 4th hr and 1st week, 4th week and 6th week following Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy. Aqueous flare and floaters was seen in 6 patients. IOL pitti...
All other out-patient care centresPurpose To determine the rate of retinal tear and retinal detachment (RD) after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery. Setting Province-wide outpatient and hospital settings, Alberta, Canada. Design...
Conclusion: This model could predict the probability of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy for vision-threatening PCO after cataract surgery by taking into account factors such as age, gender, IOL material, high myopia, and fibrinogen. Meanwhile, implantation of a hydrophobic IOL in individuals with high ...

Increased IOP is a well-known complication of Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy Effective prophylaxis could prevent the possible optic nerve damage or visual field loss in susceptible patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective randomized study was conducted for one year in the Department of ...
