Abstract

Purpose – This is prospective hospital based study to determine the changes in intraocular lens position after ND: YAG laser capsulotomy by measuring anterior chamber depth and refraction. Material and methods – 46 pseudophakic eyes with posterior capsular opacity of 28 patients were included. ND :YAG laser posterior capsulotomy was performed. Patients ACD and refraction were measured before the treatment as well as after the treatment. Result – There were no statistically significant difference in ACD and SE before and after laser treatment at 1 week and 3 month. Both backward IOL movement (ñ= 29) and forward IOL movement (n=18) were found. Some changes in cylindrical refraction were found at 1 week, but decrease at 3 month after capsulotomy. Conclusion – ND:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy didn't significant change ACD and SE .it leads to cylinder change at 1 week after laser,but the effect decrease at 3 month. This effect was small and may not be clinically significant.
