Abstract

Purpose: To review the effect of Neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy on visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and central macular thickness. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 38 eyes of 38 patients who underwent Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy from January 2009 to April 2009. The mean age of patients was 60,8±18,3 years. Pre-laser central macular thickness, IOP, and BCVA values were compared with post-laser measurements at 1 week, 1 and 3 months. Results: While the mean central macular thickness was 206.8±27.6 μ before laser, the post-laser values at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months were 205.3±29.8 μ, 209.8±28.7 μ, and 210.2±27.2 μ, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in mean central macular thickness before laser capsulotomy and at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after laser (p>0.05). The mean baseline IOP was 16.8±4,0 mmhg. The mean IOP following laser treatment was 17±3.1 mmhg, 16.9±4.2 mmhg, 17.1±2.1 mmhg at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months, respectively. Conclusion: Nd: YAG Laser capsulotomy using a low energy level for the treatment of posterior capsular opacification is a safe and effective procedure which increase BCVA without a significant increasing macular thickness and elevation of IOP.

Özet

Amaç: Neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) laser kapsülotomi sonrasında görme keskinliği (EDGK), göz içi basınç (GİB) değişimi ve merkezi maküla kalınlığının incelenmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu prospektif çalışma kapsamına, Ocak 2009 ile Nisan 2009 arasında kapsülotomi uygulanan 37 hastanın 38 gözü dâhil edildi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 60,8±18,3 idi. Hastaların laser öncesi merkezi maküla kalınlıkları, GİB değişimleri ve EDGK'leri işlem sonrası 1. hafta 1. ay ve 3. ay ölçümleri ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların işlem öncesinde merkezi maküla kalınlıkları ortalaması 206.8±27.6 μ iken, işlem sonrası 1. haftada, 1. ayda ve 3. ayda sırasıyla 205.3±29.8 μ, 209.8±28.7 μ ve 210.2±27.2 μ olarak bulundu. Laser kapsülotomi öncesi ve sonrası 1. hafta, 1. ay ve 3. ay ölçümleri arasında, merkezi maküla kalınlıkları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Ortalama GİB'ı laser öncesi 16.8±4.0 mmHg idi. Laser sonrası 1. hafta, 1. ay ve 3. aydaki ortalama GİB'i sırasıyla, 17±3.1 mmHg, 16.9±4.2 mmHg ve 17.1±2.1 mmHg idi. Sonuç: Arka kapsül kesafeti tedavisinde düşük enerji ile yapılan Nd: YAG laser kapsulotomi işlemi merkezi maküla kalınlığında ve GİB değerlerinde anlamlı bir artış oluşturmadan görme keskinliğini arttıran etkin ve güvenli bir işlemdir.
