Resumen

PEDROSO LLANES, Alina; TRUJILLO FONSECA, Katia  y  RIOS CASO, Reinaldo. Effectiveness of Nd-Yag laser in posterior capsulotomy. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2004, vol.17, n.1. ISSN 0864-2176.

The aim of this paper was to determine the effectiveness of neodymium YAG laser (Nd-YAG laser) on performing the posterior capsulotomy in 150 patients (eyes) operated on of senile or presenile cataract at the Center of Serial Ocular Microsurgery (CSOM) of "Ramón Pando Ferrer" Ophthalmological Teaching Hospital from February to December 1999. Age, sex, race, implantation or not of the intraocular lens (IOL), type of opacity of the posterior capsule, visual acuity with pre- and posttreatment correction (Avcc), complications found, behavior of the intraocular pressure (IOP), as well as the energy used to carry out such procedure, were analyzed. The Chi square contingency tables were used to this end. As a result of this research, it was found that the laser is highly effective for improving visual acuity in patients affected with secondary cataract (74.7 %). It was also observed a transitory increase of the IOP during the first 2 hours after laser (60.7 %) It was not observed any complication affecting the vision of the studied eyes

Palabras clave : Laser [capsulotomy]; cataract [intraocular lens]; surgery [implant]; treatment [complications].
