Cystoid macular oedema following neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy a prospective study.
Neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy was performed in 65 eyes of 65 patients because of vision loss due to posterior capsular opacification or wrinkling following uneventful extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation. Eyes with pre-existing macular pathology were excluded from this study. In all of the eyes the posterior capsule was successfully opened. None developed clinical or angiographic cystoid macular oedema. One eye developed retinal detachment nine months after capsulotomy.
