Prophylactic use of acetazolamide to prevent intraocular pressure elevation following Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy.
Fifty four eyes of 54 patients undergoing Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy were randomly assigned to pretreatment with either 125 mg of oral acetazolamide (group A) or placebo (group B). During the first 3 hours following capsulotomy, an intraocular pressure (IOP) rise of at least 10 mm Hg was recorded in eight of the 26 eyes of group B (30.8%) and in none of the 28 eyes of group A (p < 0.01)...
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 کاملBleb failure and intraocular pressure rise following Nd: Yag laser capsulotomy
BACKGROUND To report the negative effect of Nd: Yag (Neodymium-doped: Yttrium Aluminium Garnet) laser capsulotomy on the intraocular pressure (IOP) and the trabeculectomy bleb integrity, in a small series of eyes, both trabeculectomised and pseudophakic, following the laser application for the management of posterior capsular opacification (PCO). METHODS This is a retrospective, non-comparati...
