Abstract
Abstract: Aim: To Assess the improvement of visual acuity in patients of pseudophakia with posterior capsular opacification after Nd:Yag laser posterior capsulotomy. Objective: 1) To find out the improvement in visual acuity after Nd:Yag laser posterior capsulotomy in pseudophakic patients. Material and method: The study was carried out during period 1st March 2009 to 1st March 2010 in GMCH A'BAD. In this study post operative adults with posterior capsular opacification were assessed. All these patients were OPD patients of both gender from urban or rural area. The sample size was 30. Result: Among the 30 cases 47% were males and 53% were females. The age of the patient was above 50 yrs in 63% cases while 23% cases were between 20 yrs and 50 yrs. of age 13% cases were less than 20 yrs of age. According to the type of cataract 76% were senile cataract and rest were of other types of cataract like congenital cataract, Developmental Cataract, Traumatic cataract and complicated cataract. 76% cases were not associated with any systemic diseases while the rest had diabetes mellitus, or Hypertension or some other systemic diseases. Less than 3 mj. of energy was used in 70% cases during the procedure. After the procedure 87% patient got vision between 6/18 to 6/6 while rest had vision between 6/60 to 6/18. After follow up the incidence of cystoids macular oedema corneal damage and hyphema was 3.3% while the incidence of Iritis was 6.6%. The incidence of Retinal detachment, sustained rise in Iop and damage to Iol was 0.0%. Conclusion: Nd:Yag Laser capsulotomy is a procedure that improves the vision of the patients having posterior capsular opacitication with minimum rate of minor complications and 0.0% incidence of major complications.
