Abstract

Objective To asses the effectiveness of early treatment of Nd:YAG capsulotomy in preventing posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in pediatric cataract sugrery.Methods The study comprised 8 eyes of 8 pediatric patients who had cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation between 1998 and 1999.Posterior capsulotomy was performed by Nd:YAG within one week to ten days after the surgery.Results Patients age ranged from 5 years to 11 years.Men follow up was 10 months,ranged from 5 to 19 months.7 eyes had a clear visual axis alast follow up,one eye required the second Nd:YAG capsulotomy.The incidence of PCO required capsulotomy was 12.5%.Conclusion Early Nd:YAG capsulotomy was safe and effective.It is also a easy way.Long term follow up is need in this study.
