title: Visual fields, acuity, and intraocular pressure in a pseudophakic patient.
abstract: A 55-year-old white male underwent an uneventful cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) in his left eye. Two years after the cataract surgery, his visual acuity decreased due to opacification of the posterior lens capsule. This report addresses the effect of laser capsulotomy on the patient's visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and visual field. Although the first two have improved nicely, the size of the last remains considerably below the norm for his phakic contemporaries.
