Abstract
It has been revealed that posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the
most common delayed complication of cataract surgery. On the other hand,
Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is accepted as standard treatment for PCO.
Although, Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is a noninvasive and safe treatment it
carries risk of some complications. Using less total energy and performing
smaller capsulotomies are effective choices to decrease complications after
Nd:YAG capsulotomy.
The Pentacam images the anterior segment of the eye by a rotating
Scheimpflug camera system. Although this system is primarily used as an
anterior and posterior corneal topographer and a pachymeter, further potential
of the instrument relies on the capability of providing quantitative
information on the anterior chamber parameters.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of uncomplicated
YAG capsulotomy on anterior chamber parameters (central corneal
thickness, anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber angle, anterior chamber
volume, pupil size) using pentacam imaging.
This study was carried out on 30 eyes of 24 patients. Patients were
subjected to detailed history taking as well as detailed ophthalmic
examination including best corrected visual acuity; slit lamp examination of
the anterior segment, fundus examination by indirect ophthalmoscopy and
pentacam imaging.
Pentacam imaging was done for all patients before they underwent
YAG capsulotomy and after by 1 month.
