Abstract

UNLABELLED: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the modern possibilities of performed by laser YAG in secondary cataract. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We performed a study on 200 eyes with secondary cataract operated in the University Eye Hospital from Cluj-Napoca during 1991-1997. RESULTS: We had 95 male and 105 female, with age between 30-90 years old. The capsular fibrosis was present in 86% of the cases. Secondary cataract was present in 13.33% of the cases with PC-IOL. Functional results showed a visual acuity between 0.7-1 in cases from the 50 cases review after 1 week after YAG Laser. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Secondary cataract is the most frequent complications of PC-IOL which influence the visual acuity. 2. YAG laser capsulotomy is a modem, efficient and non-invasive method to solve the secondary cataract.
