Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Nd: YAG laser in clearing the deposits on anterior surface of intra ocular lens(IOL). Methods:Ten eyes of 10 patients who had pigment deposits on IOL post cataract surgery were included. All eyes underwent Nd YAG laser assisted sweeping of the pigments on IOL. Visual acuity, IOP and fundus examination were done pre and post procedure. All patients were started on Lotepred 0.5% in tapering dose. All patients were followed up for 3 months. Results: The deposits were totally cleared in 8 patientsand partially left in 2 patients.Improvement in visual acuity ranged from 2 to 4 lines was noted in 7 cases. IOL pitting noted in 2 cases. Fundus was better evaluated in all patients after YAG sweep. Conclusion: Nd YAG sweeping of the intra ocular lens surface is an effective method for clearing pigmented deposits on anterior surface of IOLs.
