Abstract
Objective To discuss the effect of YAG laser treatment on corneal endothelial cells in patients with posterior capsule opacification.Methods Experimental group:32 patients(32 eyes) which had posterior capsule opacification were cured with YAG,at the same time,corneal endothelial cell density and proportion of hexagonal cells were measured before the operation and 1 day,1 week,1 month and 3 months postoperative.Control group:32 eyes had posterior capsule opacification(after Phaco + IoL) without YAG laser served as the control group.Results During the postoperative follow-up period,there was no statistically significant difference from corneal endothelial cell density changes,but the decrease of the hexagonal cells in the experimental group was more evident than in the control group.Conclusion A certain energy range of laser had no significant effect on corneal endothelial cell density,but can affect the endothelial cells with normal form.
