Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effects and the security of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy for the treatment of secondary cataract and discuss the available method for its complication prevention. Methods Nityseven cases (112 eyes) of secondary cataract were received Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy.All of them were followed up for 8 to 16 months,averaging 12 months. Results Successful capsulotomy rate was 100%,the improved vision occupied 98.2%,and the postoperative visual acuity reached to 0.5 or better in 67.9% of the capsulotomy eyes.Postoperative complications in 15 eyes(13.4%) had induced increation of IOP temporarily. Six eyes (7.8%) had lowgrade IOL trauma. Conclusion The Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy technique is a safe and effective method to be used in the treatment of secondary cataract.It is important to remember that accurate arm and focus,lowenergy,few pulses and small capsulotomy can prevent complications effectively.
