Abstract:
To assess the effect of total power of Nd:YAG laser on intra-ocular pressure and anterior chamber reaction after YAG Laser capsulotomy. Study Design: Prospective study Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Shalimar Medical & Dental College Lahore from October 2020 to September 2021. Materials and Methods: Pre and post laser, the intraocular pressure and anterior chamber reactivity were documented. The patients were treated with laser after undergoing a pre-laser evaluation. Results: The mean preoperative IOP was 13.38±2.38 mmHg while postoperative was 18.40±5.97 mmHg. Fifty one (87.93%) patients, none of the anterior chamber reaction was observed while faint and moderate reaction was observed in 7 (12.07%) and one (1.72%) patient respectively. Conclusion: Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is an efficient treatment method because of its non-invasiveness and no need for hospitalization. The most common complication observed was postoperative increase in IOP following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy.
