An Overview of Nd:YAG Laser Capsulotomy

It has been revealed that posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common delayed complication of cataract surgery. On the other hand, Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is accepted as standard treatment for PCO. Although, Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is a noninvasive and safe treatment it carries risk of some complications. Using less total energy and performing smaller capsulotomies are effective ...

Defining the ideal femtosecond laser capsulotomy

PURPOSE We define the ideal anterior capsulotomy through consideration of capsular histology and biomechanics. Desirable qualities include preventing posterior capsular opacification (PCO), maintaining effective lens position (ELP) and optimising capsular strength. METHODS Laboratory study of capsular biomechanics and literature review of histology and published clinical results. RESULTS Pa...

A New Approach to Laser Capsulotomy

Creation of consistently sized, centrally located, circular capsulotomies has long been the goal of the cataract surgeon. It has been believed that such capsular openings minimize changes in effective lens position after cataract surgery. Manual techniques, even in the best hands and utilizing mechanical or optical devices, are unable to guarantee this. The advent of the femtosecond laser, for ...
