Proliferation of lens epithelial remnants after Nd-YAG laser capsulotomy.
Eight eyes exhibited massive proliferation of lens epithelial remnants following Nd-YAG posterior capsulotomy. All eyes had pre-existing retinal pathology. Six had undergone vitrectomy (four for proliferative diabetic retinopathy) before extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. The other two eyes had familial exudative vitreoretinopathy or retinopa...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure changes after Nd-YAG laser capsulotomy.
BACKGROUND 28-43% of the patients develop posterior capsular thickening after extra capsular cataract surgery. Nd-YAG laser capsulatomy is a method of choice to treat this complication. METHOD We conducted a prospective clinical, randomized comparative study to evaluate the post YAG laser IOP rise in 54 patients at Ayub Teaching Hospital Complex. RESULT There were 43% male and 57% female pa...

متن کاملA rare complication of Nd-YAG capsulotomy: propionibacterium acnes endopthalmitis.
Posterior capsular opacification, also known as after cataract develops in 33 % of patients after uneventful cataract surgery. Nd-YAG Laser capsulotomy is the treatment of choice for PCO and is routinely performed by the general ophthalmologist on an OPD basis. Endophthalmitis, although a rare complication after Nd-YAG Laser capsulotomy, has been reported in the literature. We report a case of ...
متن کاملEstimation of mean ND: Yag laser capsulotomy energy levels for membranous and fibrous posterior capsular opacification.
INTRODUCTION Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a visually-disabling complication of cataract surgery. OBJECTIVE To estimate energy levels for capsulotomy in various subtypes of PCO (membranous, fibrous and fibro-membranous). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 215 patients with PCO were randomly selected and evaluated for Nd: Yag laser capsulotomy, after a quiet post-operative course of...
