The Clinical Investigation About Reducing The Incidence Of Retinal Detachment After Neodymium: YAG (Nd:YAG) Laser Capsulotomy

Objective: The article investigates whether the incidence of retinal detachment after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy may be reduced by removing and curing the potential factors of retinal detachment before operation. Methods: This study comprised 620 eyes with Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. The fundus was examed before the posterior capsulotomy, the retinal like-grid degeneration were diagnosed in 25 eyes(4.03%) and the asymptomatic retinal breaks was also presented in 2 eyes(0.32%). The patients with the potential factors of retinal detachment were cured by Argon laser before the operation. We observe the incidence of retinal detachment at 1 hour, 3days, 7days, 1month, 3 months and 6 months after the operation. Results: No case had retinal detachment in this study. Conclusion: The incidence of retinal detachment after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy may be reduced by removing and curing the potential factors of retinal detachment before the operation.
