Evaluation of Nd:YAG Laser Capsulotomy Rates in a Real-Life Population. [PDF]
The objective of this study was to assess the rate of posterior capsule opacification (PCO), under "real-life" conditions, as measured by rates of Nd:YAG laser intervention, rather than from a controlled study from which patients with conditions predisposing to PCO have been excluded.This was a retrospective, multicenter study in an unselected ...

Visual Outcome after Nd:YAG Laser Capsulotomy
A longitudinal study was carried out in the laser unit of the Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Dhaka on 500 eyes of 500 patients who were treated with Neodymium-yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy over a period of two and a half years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the visual acuity following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy.

The Influence of Vitrectomy of Nd:YAG Laser Posterior Capsulotomy
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate factors that cause after-cataract such as diabetes, intravitreal gas injection during vitrectomy, and other factors in relation to the vitrectomy. Methods: The relationship between the vitrectomy and the frequency of Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy was investigated in a sample of 947 monitored patients’ eyes ...
