Background:
@EN To evaluate the effects of Nd : YAG Laser posterior capsulotomy, I performed posterior
capsulotomy on after cataract (72 eyes) by using Q-switched Nd : YAG laser from March
1994 to August 1995.
@ES Results:
@EN The results were as follows:
@EN 1) 24 aphakic eyes(33.3%), 45 ECCE with PCL inserted pseudophakic eyes(62.5%), 3
KPE with PCL inserted pseudophakic eyes(4.2%) were followed.
2) On performing posterior capsulotomy, the power setting of Nd : YAG laser was ranged
from 2.0 to 2.9 mJ(62.5%), more than 40 pulse were used in 35 eyes(48.6%).
3) Postoperative visual acuity was improved in 68 eyes(94.4%) and 0.5 or better in 47 eyes
(65.3%).
4) Ocular complications after posterioc capsulotomy were transient increase of intraocular
pressure(8.3%), sustained increased intraocular pressure(4.2%), anterior uveitis(2.8%), vitreous
prolapse(2.8%), corneal damage(2.8%), intraocular lens damage(1.4%), cystoid macular edema(1.
4%), retinal detachment(1.4%).
@ES Conclusion;
@EN As the results, posterior capsulotomy with Nd : YAG laser offers several advantages
over primary or secondary surgical capsulotomy and har fewer complications.
