Abstract

(1) To determine the effect of Nd Yag posterior capsulotomy in pseudophakic eye on IOP and macular thickness, (2) To corelate between posterior capsular opacity and visual acuity before and after Nd Yag posterior capsulotomy and (3) To determine the duration of cataract extraction and development of posterior capsular opacity. A prospective observational study was done for the period of six months from December 2022 to May 2023 at the Department of Ophthalmology at Deccan college of medical sciences, Hyderabad. Visual acuity was recorded, detailed slit lamp examination, Kryer et al. grading system for PCO was done, IOP was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry, detailed fundus examination with 90D, Nd Yag Q switched laser capsulotomy was done under topical anesthesia, power setting and number of exposures varied depending on thickness of posterior capsule opacity and macular thickness was measured SD OCT. BCVA, IOP andmacular thickness was measured on day 1, at one week and one month follow up. BCVA significantly improved post procedure after one week and one month. IOP and macular thickness increased post procedure but did not required any medical intervention. Time of onset of PCO after cataract surgery varied significantly, average period in our study was 3.5 years.
