Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the changes of refractive values in pseudophakic eyes with posterior capsular opacification after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, fifty-six eyes of fifty-one patients (28 male, 23 female) having Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy for posterior capsular opacification were recruited. The mean age was 63.6±14.6(SD). The refractive status, uncorrected visual acuity and best corrected visual acuity of the patients were measured before laser and first week after. Results: The mean pre-treatment spherical and cylindrical values with autorefractometer were -0.43±3.42 D and -2.01±1.27 D respectively and post-treatment values were -0.45±3.18 D and -1.14±0.81 D respectively. While the reduction of mean cylindrical value was significant, (p<0.001) there was no statistically significant change in the mean spherical value (p=0.87). The mean uncorrected and best corrected visual acuities were improved significantly after posterior capsulotomy. Conclusion: Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is an effective and safe alternative for the treatment of posterior capsular opacification. Although Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy did not significantly change the spherical values, it decreased the astigmatic values at 1st week examination following treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Psödofakik hastalarda arka kapsül opasitesi nedeniyle yapılan YAG-Lazer kapsülotomi sonrasında meydana gelen refraktif değişimin incelenmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Prospektif olarak yapılan bu çalışmada, kliniğimizde arka kapsül opasitesi tanısıyla YAG-Lazer kapsülotomi uygulanan 51 hastanın psödofakik 56 gözü incelendi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 63.6±14.6 olup 23 tanesi kadın, 28 tanesi erkekti. Hastaların lazer öncesi ve lazerden 1 hafta sonraki refraksiyonları, düzeltilmemiş ve en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların otorefraktometre ile değerlendirilen, lazer öncesi -0.43±3.42 D olan sferik ve -2.01±1.27 D olan silindirik kırma kusurlarının lazer sonrası 1. haftada sırasıyla -0.45±3.18 D ve -1.14±0.81 D olduğu görüldü. Sferik değerlerdeki değişimin anlamsız olduğu görülürken (p=0.87), silindirik değerdeki düşüş anlamlı olarak değerlendirildi (p<0.01). Düzeltilmemiş ve düzeltilmiş en iyi görme keskinliğinde arka kapsülotomiden sonra anlamlı artış olduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç: YAG-lazer kapsülotomi arka kapsül opasitesi tedavisinde etkin ve güvenilir bir yöntemdir. Lazer sonrası 1. haftada silindirik değerlerde anlamlı bir azalma görülürken, sferik değerlerde önemli değişim görülmemiştir.
