Posterior vitreous detachment after neodymium:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2003
To determine whether retinal detachment (RD) after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy is due to a greater incidence of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) than in controls and whether vitreous status at the time of capsulotomy is useful in predicting the risk for RD.Teaching hospital ophthalmology service.Patients having Nd:YAG laser ...

Secondary closure of neodymium:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2001
A 67-year-old man reported reduced vision after cataract surgery and neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy. The diagnosis was complicated due to severe glistenings within the optic of an acrylic foldable intraocular lens (IOL), proliferation of lens epithelial remnants over the capsulotomy opening, and presumed vitreous opacity.

Vitreous opacification after neodymium:YAG posterior capsulotomy

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1999
To describe the clinical picture in eyes that developed vitreous opacification behind the intraocular lens (IOL) after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy and determine whether this type of opacification tends to occur in patients with diabetes.Shinjo Eye Clinic, Miyazaki, Japan.The clinical course in 728 eyes that had Nd:YAG posterior ...

Nd:YAG Laser Posterior Capsulotomy

Optometry and Vision Science, 1985
ABSTRACT As a postoperative complication to cataract surgery [extracapsular extraction (ECCE), phacoemulsification (KPE)], the posterior capsule (PC) of the lens often becomes opacified with plaque, Elschnig's pearls, or fibrotic bands, resulting in decreased visual acuity (VA). A Q‐switched Nd:YAG ophthalmic laser was used to perform

Retinal Detachment Following Late Posterior Capsulotomy

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1983
When we compared the incidence of retinal detachment in 27 eyes after extracapsular cataract surgery and late posterior capsulotomy with the incidence of general aphakic detachment, we found no relationship between the onset of retinal detachment and the numbers, types, or locations of breaks. The interval between cataract extraction and discission had

Simplified primary posterior capsulotomy technique

American Intra-Ocular Implant Society Journal, 1984
A technique for performing a primary capsulotomy before inserting a posterior chamber lens is reported. The technique enables the surgeon to create a central posterior capsulotomy without the presentation of vitreous at the operative site.

Posterior Capsulotomy as a Complication of Indirect Laser Photocoagulation

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1992
Two pseudophakic patients with posterior chamber intraocular lens implants and intact posterior capsules underwent indirect laser photocoagulation during their immediate postoperative period (24 and 72 hours postoperatively, respectively). Laser treatment was indicated for a retinal break noted after vitrectomy and scleral buckling in one patient and ...

Simulation of neodymium:YAG posterior capsulotomy for ophthalmologists in training

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2014
We describe a new method for training ophthalmologists to perform a neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) posterior capsulotomy. Our model consists of an artificial anterior chamber that can be adjusted to fit any laser instrument and houses an intraocular lens (IOL).

Elschnig pearl formation along the posterior capsulotomy margin after neodymium:YAG capsulotomy

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1997
To determine the incidence of Elschnig pearl formation along the capsulotomy margin (string of pearls) after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy and to elucidate its clinical features, predisposing factors, effect on visual function, and association with additional capsulotomy.Keio University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.The records of 418 ...
