Abstract

A 60-year-old man with psuedoexfoliation syndrome and nuclear cataract in his both eyes was diagnosed to have narrow angle glaucoma and was performed Nd:YAG laser iridotomy for prophlaxis. One day after the application, the patient presented with progressive vision loss in his right eye. His cristallin lens was dislocated inferotemporally in the right eye. Despite the relatively low incidence of complications, Nd:YAG laser iridotomy is not a procedure without risks. It is wise to avoid high energy levels during the laser iridotomy procedure especially in eyes with zonular weakness.

Özet

Her iki gözünde nükleer katarakt ve psödoeksfoliasyon mevcut olan 60 yaşındaki erkek hastada dar açılı glokom saptandı. Koruma amaçlı her iki gözüne neodymium: yitrium alüminyum garnet (Nd:YAG) lazer iridotomi uygulandı. Uygulama sonrası birinci gün hasta sağ gözde görmede azalma şikâyeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Sağ gözde kristalin lenste inferotemporale dislokasyon vardı. Nd:YAG lazer iridotomi her ne kadar düşük komplikasyon oranına sahipse de, tamamen risksiz bir yöntem değildir. Özellikle zonül hasarı riski bulunan gözlerde lazer iridotomi sırasında yüksek enerji kullanımından kaçınılmalıdır.
