Effect of Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy on IOP rise and its variation with energy used
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim To study the effect of YAG laser capsulotomy on visual acuity with special reference to IOP changes and its correlation to the energy used in pseudophakicsMaterials and Methods A total of 120 cases of pseudophakic eyes having intraocular pressure IOP between 1020 mmHg were included After detailed history and ocular examination including visual acuity slit lamp biomicroscopy fundus and applanation tonometry laser capsulotomy was performed to clear off 45mm visual axis High 50mJ and low Results 95 of the cases showed improved visual acuity after laser capsulotomy Elevated IOP was seen in 75 cases out of which 80 of them showed transient IOP rise within 2 hour whereas no elevation was seen in 45 cases IOP change was significantly high in high energy group p0000 than in low energyConclusion Post laser IOP rise is minimal and transient It varies with the amount of energy used Routine pre and post antiglaucoma medication can be avoided and minimal laser energy should be used Keyword Intraocular pressure Nd YAG laser Posterior capsule opacification Visual acuity
