Abstract

Purpose: To measure the impact of Neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) laser capsulotomy on the macular thickness, in patients who underwent phacoemulsification (FE) and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation surgery. Materials and Methods: Fourty-four patients who had posterior capsule opacification underwent Nd: YAG lazer capsulotomy, with a minimal energy and shooting number lazer capsulotomy was performed with optical cohorence tomography before, 1. day, 1. week, 1. and 3. and 6. month after laser capsulotomy. The post-treatment measurements were compared with pre-treatment measurements. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure and anterior and posterior segment evaluation were performed. Results: The macular thickness measurements obtained before laser treatment were similar to those measured in the post-operative period (p=0.391). Preoperative visual acuity was 0.47 and improved to 0.85 at the end of 6 months (p<0.001). The intraocular pressure did not change significantly in the first 6 months (p=0.579) Conclusion: Neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet laser capsulotomy does not influence the macular thickness in the first 6 months, after treatment

Özet

Amaç: Fakoemülsifikasyon (FE) yöntemiyle komplikasyonsuz katarakt cerrahisi (KC) uygulanarak göz içi mercek (GİM) yerleştirilen ve ardından arka kapsül kesafeti (AKK) gelişmiş hastalara uygulanan Neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) lazer kapsülotominin maküla kalınlığı üzerine etkisini değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Arka kapsül kesafeti gelişen 44 hastaya, cerrahiden en az 6 ay sonra, gereken en az enerji ve sayıyla Nd-YAG lazer kapsülotomi uygulandı. Maküla kalınlığı, lazer öncesinde ve lazer sonrası 1. gün, 1. hafta, 1. , 3. ve 6. aylarda optik koherans tomografi ile ölçülerek, karşılaştırıldı. Göz içi basıncı (GİB) ve görme keskinliği ölçümü, ön ve arka segment muayenesi yapıldı. Bulgular: Lazer öncesi ölçülen maküla kalınlık değeriyle, lazer sonrası ölçülen değerler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığı görüldü (p=0.371). Lazer öncesi görme keskinliği ortalama 0.47 iken lazer sonrası 6 aylık takip sonunda 0.85 olarak bulundu (p<0.001). GİB lazer tedavisi ile önemli değişim göstermedi (p=0.579) Tartışma: Neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet lazer kapsülotomi, lazer sonrası maküla kalınlığında ilk 6 ayda anlamlı bir değişim oluşturmamaktadır.
