Abstract
Background: Noninvasive procedure that is used in the treatment of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is Neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy. Since the advent of YAG in 1981 its application & acceptance in the management of PCO was well appreciated due to the non surgical & non invasive approach against needling which was mainstay in PCO management prior to YAG.Aim : To see complications following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy for PCO.Materials & Methods: The present prospective study involved 100 eyes having posterior capsular opacification after extracapsular cataract extraction & undergone Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy.Results: Uveitis was seen in 96% cases within 1hr which reached upto 2% on 7th day post laser followed by rise of IOP in 47% while pitting of IOL was seen in 5%.Conclusion: Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is the safest, non-invasive & most effective procedure in the management of PCO with fewer complications which can be managed by proper medication.
