Abstract
- We performed posterior capsulotomy on after cataract(132 eyes) by using Modelocked Nd:YAG Laser from May 1988 to september 1988. The results were as follows; 1. 72 aphakic eyes, 60 pseudophakic eyes(42 senile cataract, 61 adult cataract, 17 traumatic, 12 congenital cataract) were followed. 2. On performing posterior capsulotomy, the power setting of Nd:YAG laser ranged from 1.0 to 2.9mJ in 106 eyes(80.3%). 3. Postoperative visual acuity of 0.7 or better was achieved in 72 eyes(56.1%) and 1.0 or better in 24 eyes(18.2%). 4. Ocular complications after posterior caps ulotomy were transient increase of intraocular pressure(14,4%), intraocular lens damage(33.3%), vitreous prolapse (5.3%), transient anterior uveitis(6.1%) and cystoid macular edema(0.8%).
