“…Similarly, in a study performed by reviewing the applied force and complication, the authors (4) found that CMT change was significant in cases where >80 mj was applied, but insignificant when a force <80 mj was applied. Here if we consider that the necessary dose is applied to open the capsule, this means that a higher dose results in a more rigid and thick capsule and the release of more capsular degradation products.…”

“…Moreover, retinal complications that may emerge later affect the choroid tissue. Various studies associated with anterior chamber and retinal changes in patients who have undergone YAG capsulotomy have been published (4)(5)(6) . However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no publications regarding choroi dal change.…”

“…However, some complications may occur after YAG capsulotomy (1)(2)(3) . Changes in intraocular pressure are frequently observed following YAG capsulotomy (4) and may have an impact on the choroid, which is sensitive to fluctuations inintraocular pressure (IOP). Furthermore, the probability of a reaction in the retina and choroid structures induced by the inflammation that may occur in the first days of the procedure should be considered.…”

Approved by the following research ethics committee: Erciyes University Ethics Committee 2014/356. ABSTRACTPurpose: Optic coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation of the choroid, retina, and retinal nerve fiber layer after uncomplicated yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser capsulotomy. Methods: OCT analysis of retinal and choroidal structures was performed in 28 eyes of 28 patients following routine examinations before and 24 h, 72 h, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks after YAG laser capsulotomy. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software. 275,85 ± 74,78 m; após YAG foi 278,46 ± 83,46 µm, 283,39 ± 82,84 µm, 280,00 ± 77,16 µm, 278,37 ± 76,95 µm, e 278,67 ± 76,20 µm, respectivamente. A espessura macular central foi 272,14 ± 25,76 mm antes YAG; e 266,53 ± 26,47 µm, 269,14 ± 27,20 µm, 272,17 ± 26,97 µm, 270,91 ± 26,79 µm, e 273 ± 26,63 µm, respectivamente. Espessura média da camada de fibras nervosas da retina antes do YAG foi 99,89 ± 7,61 mm; e 98,50 ± 8,62 µm, 98,14 ± 8,69 µm, 99,60 ± 8,39 µm, de 99,60 ± 8,39 µm, 99,60 ± 8,35

“…(16) Ari et al who examined 30 patients according to the energy levels, they found significant increase in CMT in high energy group. (17) Another study from Turkey, Yılmaz et al studied about long term changes in macular thickness, they did not find significant change in CMT. (18) Casas et al found insignificant change in CMT at 3 months after treatment.…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy on refraction, central macular thickness (CMT) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL ResumoObjetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é examinar o efeito da capsulotomia de laser Nd: YAG na refração, espessura macular central (CMT) e espessura da camada de fibra nervosa retiniana (RNFL). Métodos: 42 olhos de 42 pacientes que trataram com capsulotomia laser Nd: YAG foram incluídos neste estudo prospectivo. O equivalente esférico (SE), a refração de potência cíclica, a espessura CMT e RNFL foram avaliados pré-operatório e no primeiro dia pós-operatório, primeira semana e primeiro mês pós-operatório. Resultados: valores equivalentes esféricos e valores de espessura macular central não alteraram significativamente no primeiro mês após o tratamento. Os valores médios e da espessura da camada de fibra nervosa nasal da retina aumentaram significativamente e a refração do poder cíclico diminuiu significativamente durante as visitas. Conclusão: Nd: a capsulotomia laser YAG é uma opção de tratamento confiante e confiável da opacificação da cápsula posterior (PCO). Após Nd: a capsulotomia do laser YAG, a refração do poder cíclico e os valores da espessura do RNFL mudam significativamente.

“…Capsulotomy is considered a relatively safe procedure, but it still has several complications. These include a sudden increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), long-term IOP elevation [10111213], iris hemorrhage [14], cystoid macular edema [121516], posterior vitreous detachment [17], retinal breaks/detachment [181920], and aqueous misdirection syndrome [2122]. Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) rarely occurs as a complication of capsulotomy [23].…”

Neovascular glaucoma following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in a patient with diabetes and syphilitic uveitis

A diabetic woman had been suffering from progressively blurry vision in the right eye for 1 year after cataract surgery. Slit lamp examination revealed bilateral band keratopathy with quiescent anteriorchamber reaction, an intumescent cataract in the left eye, and dense posterior capsular opacity in the right eye. Capsulotomy was performed, but this led to neovascular glaucoma. Because of a refractory elevation in intraocular pressure, trabeculectomy with mitomycin C treatment, vitrectomy with panretinal photocoagulation, and intravitreal injection of bevacizumab were performed. A positive rapid plasma reagin test and a positive Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay led to the impression of syphilitic uveitis, and the patient was treated with intravenous penicillin for 2 weeks. The visual acuity of the right eye was 0.1 at the 12th-month follow up. This case shows that neovascular glaucoma may present as a complication of capsulotomy in uveitic/diabetic eyes.

The Effects of Nd:YAG Laser Posterior Capsulotomy on Macular Thickness, Intraocular Pressure, and Visual Acuity

Abstract: Increased IOP and macular thickness are inevitable after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, but the severity and duration are less when a total energy level less than 80 mJ is used.
