Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: This research was aimed to assess the effect on visual acuity following Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy, total amount of laser energy required for capsulotomy, and to assess the complications of fallowing laser capsulotomy. It included 70 patients with posterior capsular opacification admitted in M.L.B. Medical College, Jhansi between July 2016 to April 2017 .The study group patients were asked relevant history, examination of the eye with the help of slit lamp, refraction, Best corrected visual acuity, tonometry, and fundus examination, and Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy was done. In this study 33 male and 37 female were taken. Mean age was 58.41 years. Most of the patients presented with visually significant posterior capsular opacification 6-12 months of the cataract surgery. Percentage of patients achieved the final visual acuity (BCVA) of 6/6 to 6/12 were 58.57% and percentage of patients with no visual improvement were 4.29%. 52.86% patients required the total laser energy of 01-25 mJ to make adequate opening in posterior capsule. Most common complication of Nd:YAG laser was IOP spike, post laser iritis, glare and vitreous floaters
