title: [Effects and complications of Nd YAG laser posterior capsulotomy after ECA + PCI (extracapsular extraction and posterior chamber implantation)].
abstract: 264 consecutive cases of ECCE are reviewed. In this series 28 cases of Nd YAG laser capsulotomy have been performed. Visual results are excellent: visual acuity is improved in 90% of cases. The rate of complications is low: 1 case of retinal detachment, 2 cases of IOP raise, no clinical CME. Laser therapy is performed when visual acuity decreases, prior to other extra clinical examination.
