Abstract

Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common postoperative complication of uncomplicated cataract surgery. At present, Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is the standard method for the treatment of PCO. In this method, fibrotic tissue that covers the visual axis is destructed with-out any need for intraocular intervention. This treatment has a quite high success rate, but is associated with some complications.In this presentation, we aimed to discuss clinical findings of a case with vitreous prolapse and intraocular lens dislocation after Nd:YAGcapsulotomy, application methods of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, its potential complications, and their causes.

Özet

Arka kapsül opasifikasyonu (AKO) komplikasyonsuz katarakt cerrahisinin postoperatif dönemde en sık görülen komplikasyonudur. Günümüz-de AKO'nun standart tedavisi Neodymium YAG (Nd:YAG) lazer arka kapsülotomidir. Bu yöntemde göz içi müdaheleye gerek kalmaksızın, görme aksını kapatan fibrotik doku destrükte edilmektedir. Başarı oranı oldukça yüksek olan bu tedavi bazı komplikasyonlarla da ilişkilidir. Biz de bu sunumda Nd:YAG lazer arka kapsülotomi sonrasında ön kamaraya vitreus prolapsusu ve göz içi lens dislokasyonu gelişen bir olgu-nun klinik bulgularını, Nd:YAG lazer kapsülotominin uygulanma yöntemlerini, olası komplikasyonlarını ve bunların nedenlerini tartışmayı amaçladık.
